What effect has the crisis had on cultural industry?
How is the cultural industry changing now?
What are the new possibilities for creativity and the community?
'Re-imagining Culture' is a workshop in the form of an open discussion that aims to address the current state of the post-crisis cultural economy. The crisis forces us to confront multiple issues, and provides us an opportunity to reflect, undo and redo some of visions and practices of arts/culture, economy and industry.
In the past decade, the culture industry in the UK has been regarded as a leading model that has been followed in pursuit by countries around the world. The workshop looks at the impact of the crisis and provokes imagination from various perspectives of economy, labour, business and innovation in the UK, and projects it to a broader discussion on global landscape, especially on large scale cultural development projects such as the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong or the Saadiyat Island Cultural District in Abu Dhabi. The event aims to bring together artists, theorists and professionals to raise questions, to approach an understanding of the changes, and to re-imagine new possibilities and resolutions for the arts, culture and global economy.
'Re-imagining Culture' is the first of a series of workshop events produced by DOXA. The event is part of an on-going project on 'Creative Space', which seeks to explore new models, practices and ideas of culture, creativity and the global community.
