What does "curating" mean today?
Get PDFCuratorial action is based on historical presupposed situations. It is construed from the right to education and having a voice in civil society; however, at the same time it is based on the hierarchies as well as discriminatory exclusion and marginalisation mechanisms of Western modernity. Using Pierre Bourdieu‘s model of alliance building as a basis, the study presents curatorial practices that are suitable for breaking through hegemonic patterns and initiating transcultural exchange processes
Taiwan: at a glance
Get PDFTaiwan’s ECP has two greatest strengths in its liberal-democratic political culture and activism of its vibrant civil society. Cultural diplomacy is a political lifeline for Taiwan to access audiences and engage in unofficial diplomacy to generate wider support and recognition. And Taiwan has been actively expanding its influence in areas of culture and education through the New Southbound Policy. However, it still faces external and internal challenges, including growing party schism and threats from China
Learning from the Pandemic
Get PDFThe Covid-19 pandemic has hit the creative and cultural sectors hard; it has led to further risks and restrictions for artists, particularly for those who were already vulnerable, marginalized, or persecuted. It also hindered opportunities for cross border mobility and collaboration, thereby creating major obstacles for mobility and temporary relocation programs which aim to enable artists from restrictive political contexts to continue their practice. By learning from the experience of the Covid crisis, and particularly from restrictive contexts such as Turkey, this report explores how to support artists and maintain spaces of artistic freedom despite these circumstances. The report provides artists' perspectives and experiences related to the challenges of the pandemic, and presents the strategies they used to cope with them. As Covid exposed the interlinkage between economic, political, and psychosocial risks, the report provides a critical perspective on the concept of "risk" and of being "at-risk." It also examines the challenges and opportunities that affected the work of organizations supporting artistic freedom and mobility, and how those organizations were able to respond to the needs of artists in this period. Drawing on practices that emerged in response to the pandemic, the report develops recommendations to guide future attempts to expand transnational solidarity for artistic freedom in the face of the pandemic’s long-term impacts, as well as any future threats or obstacles of similar nature
