Friday 5 May: DAY THREE
The Practice of Artistic Freedoms: Inspiring tools for a vibrant future
On Day Three we will reflect on the provocations, challenges, and inspirations experienced by participants throughout the Summit programme. We will invite participants to collectively find solutions that can be used in local contexts; explore future possibilities; and navigate how our thinking and perspectives may – or may not – transfer across different geopolitical realities. We will consider next steps, what tools we have in our toolkit and how they can be organised, used, and monitored to maximum effect.

As we come together for the final day, this plenary will synthesise the issues and calls to action arising from the previous two days of the Summit, and provide further analysis of possible solutions to advance artistic freedom.
Do we need new models for investment, collaboration and exchange to develop and support independent, challenging, relevant, diverse and sustainable contemporary practices across borders? How can we build support for change and prepare for a future that is likely to be very different, and politically, economically, socially, technologically, environmentally, and culturally challenging?
These questions will be considered from a global perspective, identifying key challenges as well as contextualised solutions and next steps that individuals and institutions can make at local, national and international levels. The panel will envision a world where we actively promote and responsibly exercise artistic freedom, while acknowledging and respecting differences within a shared agenda.

Open Discussion: What next? |
-
What tools, structures and thinking do we need to strengthen and advance artistic freedom: to improve how they are invoked and exercised and how they are protected through policymaking? How do we ensure that these tools are useful, relevant contextual and used effectively and fairly? And what actions can be identified, used and propelled to decolonize processes to (re)claim cultural narratives, voice and self-determination and freedom?
