Democracy, Civic Agency and Participation: OPEN SPACE

Calling Question: What can arts and culture ‘do’ to democracy and civic life?

Context for the question & who the event is for:

This event will open with provocations from guest speakers based on their experiences of delivering participatory projects which activate communities, influence democratic structures, and play with concepts of civic life.

Following the provocations and Q&A attendees will be invited to reflect on these themes and what these ideas mean for their communities, arts practice and the participatory art sector more widely.

Event Format: Open Spaces are participant-led events where the agenda and discussion are driven by the those in the room. At the beginning of the event guest speakers will introduce the key ideas, principles and practices behind the theme of the event and offer provocations for discussion. Together we will set the agenda and you will be able to move freely between conversations.
