Art supported visioning of the future
In July 2023 Vienne Chan and Jan Lemitz, two artists from Germany, as well as Kinga Milankovics from Hekate Conscious Ageing Foundation worked together with Janoshida citizens to co-create a visual vision for Janoshida.

In July 2023 Vienne Chan and Jan Lemitz, two artists from Germany, as well as Kinga Milankovics from Hekate Conscious Ageing Foundation worked together with Janoshida citizens to co-create a visual vision for Janoshida. 

With the support of Ildikó Béresné Szénási, and all staff members of the St Norbert Elderly Club we had the chance to spend more than a week together to carry out this social dialogue about what kind of future we want to see in a small, rural, ageing European village.

People of nearly all ages (9-93) participated in the visioning process and voices of all generations were visualized. As a result, the future Janoshida will have to have a dino-park 🙂sporting facilities, a cinema, a restaurant, and an elderly care home among other features.

This project has been a significant next step of the JANOSHIDA2030 strategic cooperation. It has been a pleasure to work with Vienne and Jan. We do hope to continue working with them to use art and artistic methods to generate social change as well as to build a more sustainable and regenerative future, and more resilient communities.
