Culture and Space during and after the crisis

/
Can the existing cultural infrastructure still make it possible for culture and art to survive? Or, will the rediscovered public space locations become the prevailing “live” culture and art venues until we get an effective vaccine? Join us on 1st October for the second online discussion within the PLAN B cycle moderated by Ragnar Siil, an international cultural policy expert.

The purpose of A Plan B for the Cultural Policies of European Cities series of online discussions is for representatives of various European cities to exchange their experiences in providing support to artists, cultural creators and organizations during the crisis brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. Examples of good practices can serve as a model and a stimulus for European cities at a time when cultural entities must find new ways to operate.

The second online discussion will focus on the relation between culture and space. The debate will host representatives of municipalities and cultural practitioners from different European cities Kaunas, Rijeka and Ljubljana, and will be moderated by a renowned international expert on cultural policies and the development of creative cities, Ragnar Siil. See strating point for the debate.
