This fall, the OMNIBUS will embark on a ten-week journey spanning twelve countries
in south-eastern Europe, at the invitation of the Goethe Institute in Athens as well as
the Goethe Institutes and local partners in Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Skopje, Sofia,
Thessaloniki, Athens, Istanbul, Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna
and Munich.

The OMNIBUS will travel through areas rich in history and cultural diversity. Stopping
at each capital, OMNIBUS will establish forums for unbiased discussions exploring the
issue of the relationship between politics and art. Together, we would like to find answers
on how to envision Europe, and what tools we will need to shape it.

As a key inspirational component of this journey, OMNIBUS will host two conferences,
one in Athens and the other one in Istanbul, accommodating participants from all over
the world. All other stops on the tour will also include a lively programme. In Zagreb for
example, the OMNIBUS will meet with a student movement, in Sarajevo we will visit a
school, we will be part of the German Cultural Week in Skopje and the Biennales in
Thessaloniki, Athens and Istanbul. Many other interesting activities are in progress,
currently being planned, and realised with the help of local partners and the
Goethe Institutes.
