Outsiders on the Map
Exploring and Mapping Outsider Art in Europe
International Conference on Outsider Art
Thursday 26 April 2012
Outsider art is flourishing. On 26 April 2012 the book On the Map. Exploring European Outsider Art – a Notebook will be presented at an international symposium in Ghent. The publication explores 60 initiatives – good practices in the field of outsider art – in 26 countries in Europe. Not only does it look at the places where outsider art is created (workshops, sheltered workshops, etc), but also the places where it is presented (museums, galleries, etc).
At the symposium Outsiders on the Map, details of many of the initiatives in the book will be presented. Great emphasis will be placed on the organisations, workshops and museums that have done outstanding work to give outsider art a place in the cultural and social debate.
One of these 60 initiatives also is Naive Art Museum of Latvia located in Riga, Andrejsala - a former port district.
