OPEN SPACE: Co-Production, Power Sharing and Shared Decision Making
23rd September 2021 at 10:30 am - 1:00 pm
| donationCalling question: How can participatory arts practice empower people and communities?
Context for the question & who the event is for:
We will open this event with provocations from our guest speakers based on their diverse experiences putting co-production and shared decision-making into practice. Throughout the session we will get to grips with the complexity of power sharing and ask the following questions:
- Who has access to culture? What is cultural democracy, and how does it work in practice?
- How can we use our participatory arts practice to extend ownership over arts and culture?
- How do we go about organisational and structural power sharing?
Speakers to be announced soon…
