Cultural Policy Transformations: The Rise of Illiberalism
Working Meeting organised by the Research Cluster on Arts Production and Cultural Policy in Transformation (ACPT).
The international cultural policy researchers invited will addresses urgent questions such as:
- How do the rise of populist, nationalist and illiberal parties and movements affect cultural policy and the production of arts?
- How do measures such as censorship and media control, budget cuts and exchange of leadership personnel impact art and cultural institutions?
- How do art and cultural institutions act and react upon those transformations of cultural policies?
- How do counter-movements form and how do they try and react, e.g. by means of creative protest?
- What is the role of cities e.g. as spaces of progress, freedom and tolerance—and how does this relate to developments in peripheral and rural regions?
- What kind of cultural policy discourses do right-or left-wing, populist forces generate, how do they influence decision-making and the public sphere?
