Internationale Konferenz „Cultural Policies in Cities“
Internationale Konferenz „Cultural Policies in Cities“
Immer mehr Menschen wohnen in Städten. Zugleich nimmt die Diversität der lokalen Bevölkerungen zu. Dies führt zu neuen Konfliktlinien und verändert das kulturelle Bewusstsein ihrer BewohnerInnen. Auf diese Entwicklungen reagieren Künstlerinnen. Für sie stellen Stadträume wesentliche Orte ihrer künstlerischen Interventionen dar. Als solche versuchen sie Einfluss zu nehmen auf politische, soziale und kulturelle Entwicklungen in der Stadt. Dabei erweisen sie sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen politischen Handeln und bürgerschaftlichem Engagement selbst als kulturpolitische Akteure.
Welchen Einfluss haben PolitikerInnen, BürgerInnen und KünstlerInnen auf die Ausgestaltung von Kulturpolitik in Städten? Lassen sich im internationalen Städtevergleich Unterschiede in der Herangehensweise festmachen? Und was bedeutet diese Weiterentwicklung von Stadt als einem kulturpolitischen Laboratorium insbesondere für Wien als einem traditionsreichen kulturellen Zentrum? Mit diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen richtet sich die Tagung an Personen aus der kulturpolitischen Praxis und Forschung, Studierende sowie VertreterInnen künstlerischer und kultureller Szenen, der Wirtschaft sowie kulturell engagierte BürgerInnen
Das Symposium findet im Rahmen der Ausstellung „Fragile Hands“ statt.
Die Konferenz wird in Englisch abgehalten.
