About 'Now Wakes The Sea'
Satellietgroep (The Hague, NL 2006) explores through arts and culture how the sea and waterways influence cities, people, communities and environments. Our aim is to enhance public and professional awareness on coastal transitions. Long term projects are 'Badgast' - artist in residency program at The Hague/Scheveningen, and 'Now Wakes The Sea' (NWTS), the international exchange residency program in collaboration with international cultural partners. The project started in 2012 with the cultural exchange NL-Turkey, and continued in 2013 with The Netherlands - Georgia - Moldova.
GeoAIR (Tbilisi, Georgia, 2003) organizes and supports international exchange projects with the goal of strengthening the Georgian and Caucasian art world, bringing together artists from different cultural backgrounds and finding relevant contexts for them to work in.

NL-GE
Recent rapid constructions transform Batumi into one of the most popular beach resorts on the Georgian coast of the Black Sea. In June 2013 filmmakers Astrid Bussink (NL) and Ana Tsimintia (GE) worked together as artist in residence in Batumi (GE) and produced the short film 'Little Dubai' which will be screened during the Batumi Beach film festival. 'Little Dubai'  gives a humorous insight in the new architectural developments of Batumi and focusses on how Batumi as a city presents and profiles itself. During August Ana Tsimintia continued as artist in resident at Badgast (NL). In her upcoming documentary she compares the new designed beach resort Anaklia (GE) with the iconic but derelict 'Pier' at Scheveningen (NL).

NL-MD
In contrast, Moldova lost the connection to the sea. During Juli 2013 Nicoleta Esinencu from Moldova was artist in residence @ Badgast as part of the international cultural exchange project 'Now Wakes The Sea' in collaboration with our Moldovan cultural partner MediArt Dialogue (MD). During October 2013 Maarten de Kroon (NL) will be resident at Moldova.

Thanks to all participating artists and filmmakers, Channa Boon and NIAF.
The cultural exchange program 'Now Wakes The Sea' is supported by ECF, European Cultural Foundation.
