Throughout the day, we’ll explore how streaming technologies are being used to respond to global challenges. The event culminates in a final live stream event in the context of "Sense of Safety" exhibition currently ongoing at YermilovCentre in Kharkiv, Ukraine. This project is part of a broader Bridges of Solidarity network that connects over 20 cross-institutional events across 12 countries. It emphasizes the critical need to support Kharkiv, a city near the Russian border, as it faces daily shelling. By linking Kharkiv to the rest of the world, the project underscores its cultural and political significance, fostering international solidarity through shared media and art practices.

Program

Part 1: Stream Art Network [Expert Session]
(11:00–13:00)

The first session is an expert meeting dedicated to establishing a stronger international network for stream art initiatives.  The discussion will focus on how stream art platforms can better collaborate, share resources, and build lasting infrastructure to support both existing and emerging nodes. This expert session will lay the groundwork for a stream art network community aiming to amplifying voices and creative initiatives globally, creating a foundation for future projects and collaborations.

This part of the event is aimed at who is already working within the stream art sphere or those looking to contribute to its growth, offering a chance to connect, strategize, and envision the future of this rapidly expanding field.

Part 2: Streaming in the Fediverse [Open Workshop]
(14:00–16:30)

The second session moves into an open workshop that explores decentralized streaming infrastructures. Together with the participants, we will create and test our pop-up infrastructures and (p2p) connections and network prototypes (PeerTube). We’ll also connect with our partners in various corners of Europe. Participants will exchange ideas on how to integrate decentralized streaming practices, connect audiences across borders, and develop a more sustainable model for networked, hybrid media. This part of the event is open to everyone who wants to play around with PeerTube, HDMI Cables, Cameras, Video Console and GreenScreen.

Part 3: Bridge of Solidarity with Kharkiv [Live Stream Event]
(17:00–19:00)

The final session is a public live stream titled "Bridges of Solidarity," which directly connects to the Sense of Safety exhibition in Kharkiv. As part of a larger international project, this exhibition highlights the city’s cultural, political, and historical importance while emphasizing the urgent need for global solidarity as Kharkiv endures daily attacks. The live stream will address topics like Stream Art, Images and Violence, Media Research, and Tactical Media, demonstrating how media can act as a bridge between distant communities.
