May 3
Closed

Skånes konstförening is closed during Thursday May 3 in order to be part of the first network meeting organized by AOOO in Stockholm.

The network AOOO invite you to join the first network exploring in what ways small-scale and self-organized initiatives within the art field are vulnerable today. In a changing political landscape and with current challenges, arts organizations are particularly vulnerable, partly through expressed threats of violence and partly by potential reductions in public funding. What happens if the cultural policy map is redrawn and the funding that organizations within the art field have traditionally relied upon are suddenly withdrawn due to ideological reasons? How do other organizations within the field of culture and the rest of civil society relate to a similar future scenario? How can we work proactively in a larger network, where we gather knowledge, form new strategies and continue to work with the belief that art is all for everyone?
