HYP – Hypothesis you preserve

• Synopsis

  HYP is a European project focused on audience engagement through the development of collaborative creative outlets, which aim to foster transnational empathy and interest in the European collective memory and culture. Sustained by the consortium of three institutions, the University of Porto (Portugal), the University of Vigo (Spain), and the École Pratique des Hautes Études (France), it resources to both the three cultural national heritages and the immigrant flux between them for the last one hundred years, and its national, transnational, and familiar cultural resulting pools. HYP synergizes creative writing, alternative history, and creative academic outlets, to develop an Alternative History collaborative encyclopedia digital platform open to transnational participation, interfaced with a museum’s collection, and anchored in the fictional Winepunk Universe. The participants can resource individual, familial, and communal archives, stories, or traditions to provide a cultural body of writing work as encyclopedic entries, exploring common European heritage and transnational historical awareness of this process. In addition, Ukrainian communities will be invited to develop a specific encyclopedic section regarding Ukrainian history and culture, whose cross-references will evidence the shared European cultural roots between all the involved countries. The development and implementation of the HYP project’s outputs will be accompanied, step by step, by Green Creativity research regarding its environmental and social sustainability. Additionally, new forms of audience development for creative writing will be explored through the dissemination of acazines, a hybrid art/sciences magazine within the Do-It-Yourself approach, and acazines workshops. Not only will these outlets be available to the public after the project ends, but the Green Creativity research outputs and framework for sustainable creative practices will allow others to reproduce and expand this know-how.
