seminar:
Conflict matters in arts and culture
organized by Fameus and kunstZ, in collaboration with Demos, Evens Foundation, Kif Kif and ARIA
The Decolonization Debate and democratization of the arts is heating up the arts and cultural sector.
Based on the idea of 'Conflict Matters', in this seminar we embrace and organize the discussion, the debate and the difference of opinion as a lever to strengthen the transition process of the sector. Today in a polarized way dealt with conflict that many of us understand experience conflict fatigue. But Conflict does matter, is constructive, provides impetus to practice and ensures continuous innovation.
For whom?
Culture professionals, students, artists, local cultural policy, museum staff, other interested parties…
What?
In the morning we invite speakers who will elaborate on the importance of conflict and how we can respond to it from our practice. We approach the theme from both theory and practice with a few concrete examples from abroad and at home.
dr. Bernadette Lynch is unable to attend seminary for personal reasons. She finds this very unfortunate herself, but it remains without a doubt a full and fascinating day. See you tomorrow! We start at 9:30 am with the reception.

We ask a number of authors and performers to make a plea from a certain perspective for or against a proposition. We selected the themes on the basis of what has appeared in recent months and has been discussed in various debates and magazines.
Their pleas do not necessarily align with their personal point of view, but provide a new perspective on these conflicting themes.
A panel of experts answers their pleas with possible actions and ideas for the future.
Of course, the public can also have their say and formulate suggestions.
