The ‘With Dylan on the Road’ travel grant was conceived for the first time in 2022, enabling artistic teams to travel in the footsteps of Bob Dylan and develop projects. The trips took them to European countries as well as (North and South) American and African countries and brought back a variety of artistic works, from performance to song, from graphic work to theatre pieces, from video installations to artistically sophisticated documentation. With ‘With Dylan on the Road 2’, the Asian region (Japan, Korea, but also Turkey) is now also included in the above-mentioned geographical area, or rather opened up by the ten new artistic-scientific projects.

As part of the Moz-Art-Zone, we link special events for school classes to the broad spectrum of university programmes and thus want to give children and young people access to music, art and culture. The focus is on young people meeting (young) artists who offer an insight into the artistic work of the various departments at the Mozarteum University. The Moz-Art-Zone offers a colourful mix of activities, from a visit to the opera with an artist talk and theatre laboratory to special educational concerts and hands-on workshops in the graphics workshop.
Transforming climate-social futures: How do young people in Salzburg imagine the future? How do their knowledge about climate-social change, their interests and established ways of acting relate to their visions of the future? And how can art-based approaches help to create spaces for young people with different stories and concerns to come together, enabling them to design shared climate-social futures?
