LEADING TRANSITION

How can the arts get involved with the pressing need for social change? How do we engage audiences to contribute to a resilient transition into an upgraded world? And what, in practical terms, do we need to change to be successful?

If you are interested in political, institutional or artistic leadership challenges in the arts and culture sector, this is a conference for you! 

Perspectives
During the conference our speakers and guests will explore the different perspectives of  “Audience", “Artists”, “Institutions" and “Leadership” and see what kind of possibilities and challenges they offer for the future.

See you in Gothenburg!

Outlook keynotes


To establish the theme – Leading transition – and to set us off, we will explore different perspectives on leadership challenges for a culture sector in transition. We will consider both the every day thresholds and get a sense of the systemic interplay that will either enhance or make change difficult.

    Spaces for Inclusion 

    What happens when ”the people formerly known as the audience” take centre position in artistic development? Who makes the offer and who is the storyteller? With a quick set of examples from the Nordics we re-examine the re-construction of social relevance, artistic quality and meaning.

      Artistic strategies for relevance


      The movement is evolving rapidly. Socially engaged art and participatory art practices in Europe are ever finding new contexts and areas of expressions. What are the social and political implications? How do communities in transition transform the arts and the very idea and meaning of being an artist?

        Leading institutions towards resilience and relevance

        When society is in transition, when audiences and artists seek new ways to engage with the arts - how does it affect the institutions and what new challenges must leaders and executives deal with in leading their institutions towards resilience and relevance? How can leaders make institutions move?

          Challenging power structures is not expected anywhere to be a walk in the park and that goes for the arts as well. In this session we will hear a few personal stories, from different parts of Europe, about trying to give the public creative voice and space, how to find new positions and perhaps unexpected ways of collaboration.

          The Leadership we need
 

          For a long time the concept of cultural democracy have been informing the culture policies of Europe. One may wonder just how successful such ambitions have been and we may ask ourselves just how the creative interplay of policy, institutional and artistic leadership must be designed in the future to succeed.

            Organisation

            Arts and Audiences 2016 is produced by RePublik, Kultur i Väst, in collaboration with NPU - Norsk Publikumsutvikling, CKI - The Danish Centre for Arts and Interculture and Producentbyrån. 

            Kultur i Väst is the region's cultural administration and manages development work under the authority of the Cultural Affairs Committee. We have been commissioned to strengthen and develop the role of culture and forms of art in Västra Götaland and to initiate investments based on the strategic cultural policy objectives. This work involves creating the prerequisites for evenly distributed cultural activities from a geographical, content and social perspective. Our objective is for accessibility, equality, diversity and internationalization to characterize the development of the cultural sector.

            RePublik - Audiences Sweden - is a centre for audience development and engagement. We promote increased and widened participation in the public culture sector and support the development of diverse and audience centered culture organisations. With a special focus on leadership and artistic practices, building on the experience and knowledge of our partners, we aim to make visible the great variety of approaches to audience centered development and engagement. We believe that sharing experiences and good practice among different artistic and cultural fields will stimulate further development and strengthen innovative cultural leadership.
            Together with partners in Sweden, Scandinavia and beyond, we aim to develop the services best needed to support and join forces with the many transformative efforts that are made in organisations and institutions, big and small, every day.
            RePublik - Audiences Sweden -  is a part of Kultur i Väst and Region Västra Götaland.
