‘Towards Fair Practices in the Arts’ is a joint trajectory by and for the cultural sectors for more fair, diverse, sustainable and ethically responsible art practices, organized by State of the Arts, NICC, oKo, Hoogtijd, ACOD, Kunstenloket and Kunstenpunt.
This first work conference focusses on the notion of ‘solidarity’ within the various work processes and relationships that constitute the arts. Between artists, commissionaires, subsidizers, policy makers, curators, production teams, institutions, mediators and the public etc.
On February 27, we will tackle different matters concerning solidarity in the diverse art sectors today. The conference takes place at two different adjacent locations and is accordingly divided in two parts.
More about the general questions and concerns of the conference you can find here.
Specific information on the invited speakers and the overall afternoon program you find here. For the work tables in the mornings, we set up 8 working tables around 8 different types of relationships in which solidarity could be understood, ultimately working towards an articulation of what fair practice would mean in each of these specific arena.
More about the structure of these working tables you can find here.
To bring these tables into play, we send out an open call to the people working in the different art sectors. You can find it here.
NOTE: We ask you to registrate through this form. (There’s a maximum number of participants allowed!)
