If we’re told we can’t square a circle, is introducing and practising the principles of a circular economy based on solidarity and the value of cultural diversity in conservative societies a chimera?
This session may be aiming to achieve the impossible, but is ready to embrace the possibility of failure as a learning curve. Where this may lead is not fully known in advance. Dialogists Jorge Cerveira Pinto in Abu Dhabi and Oleg Koefoed in Copenhagen will engage with audiovisual walkabouts by Mina Tolu in Rome – with viewers at home around the world providing some roadmaps, signposts and a great deal of pointers in questioning directions.
During this second session of the ACM Webinar Series, participants will be able to follow and contribute towards a discussion on why cultural policy perspectives are relevant to the wider discussion on the sustainability of local community practices in particular territories within regional and international dimensions. The close links between economics and social dynamics, their circularity and the wellbeing of communities will provide various entry points into this exchange of ideas, and hopefully some exits too.
The session will take place on Thursday 27 May at 6pm CET. Register on https://bit.ly/33A36lF.
