DESCRIPTION: The Flamingo Loophole was created as part of Mediterranean Hope's Balkan Rope project. Its purpose is to serve as a meeting point for social cohesion and to implement therapy climbing. The Flamingo Loophole is also an artistic operation, "a way of creating art from civic action in the field, shaped by the exchange with the reality encountered". It is an artistic practice that, when grafted onto other social and humanitarian practices, aims to construct a necessity in dialogue with the needs expressed by a community. It is a process of translation: an imaginative synthesis that involves the architecture of the city and the bodies of those who inhabit it. The process that led to the building of the gym involved projecting imagination into an empty, abandoned space where the stories of the city of Bihac (BIH) could flow in order to create a sculpture made of metal, wood, and human bodies. It is a canvas on which a sequence of patterns creates a moving painting on the walls. A shared space where meaning, history, memory, contradictions, and conflicts are woven together. - Funded and implemented by Mediterranean hope in partnership with Kes.spectrum - With the support of the Kulturni Centar of the City of Bihac
