A Cypriot community media arts festival* curated by Prof. Dr. Nico Carpentier and the current exhibition Open Community – Open Networks <http://news.neme.org/1828/open-community-open-networks> featuring the collaborative works of *Christoph Wachter and Mathias Jud*, NeMe <http://www.neme.org> is pleased to invite you to the seminar *COMMUNITY MEDIA, COMMUNITY ART PRODUCTION AND DEMOCRATIC KNOWLEDGE.* The artistic-democratic capacities of communities and their organisations are often underestimated and neglected, pushed aside by traditional top-down structures, and leadership, expertise and professional models. These power imbalances incapacitate the communication and expressive rights of communities, dissuade them from tapping into their creative and democratic reservoirs, and restrict their abilities for self-representation. In contrast, the empowerment of communities to express themselves, beholds the promise of the democratisation of a variety of social fields, including those of media and the arts. Particular organisational structures, such as, for instance, community media organisations or arts centres, can play a vital role in contributing to the equalisation of the power relationships in these fields, by sharing their artistic-democratic knowledges and by respectfully providing support in facilitating artistic-democratic processes. This does not imply that one should u ncritically celebrate communities, and that one can assume that they will automatically maximise their artistic-democratic potential. Communities are complex, multi-layered and contradictory social entities, characterised by the presence of a variety of ideologies, some of which are problematic from a democratic perspective. Also the positions of the different actors such as facilitators and experts, creates tensions that are potentially creative, but that can quickly digress into populist models (rejecting expertise) or top-down models (rejecting the ordinary). This seminar aims to critically explore the artistic-democratic capacities of communities and their organisations, identify problems, obstacles and restrictions, and look ahead at the conditions of possibility for the continued democratisation of the social and its many fields.
