About SAMKURA:
The SAMKURA project lead by Cló and funded by the EACEA, is a trans-European art and culture exchange linking European limits. SAMKURA is the Georgian name for a small earth covering plant which has a leaf composed of a stem and three interconnected leaflets. This project visualizes the co-operation of cultures (Irish, Greek and Portuguese) represented by three leaves or ‘ears’, whose stem is connected to the Caucasus, represented by Georgia and Armenia. This project aims to create the conditions for understanding contemporary art as a language of cross-cultural communication. Research, development and dissemination of new art works take place in a context of a thematic artistic exchange focusing on cultural and linguistic specificity.
