With the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Art (CFCCA, Manchester), the Transcultural Exchange and Networks research strand of the Centre for Creative Arts, Cultures and Engagement (CREATURE) will host "Multicultural Art Institutions at the Crossroads: Pressing Challenges" on 17 March 2021 from 17:00 - 19:00 GMT.
"Multicultural Art Institutions at the Crossroads" is a project seeking to understand the ways in which cultural policy impact on the operation of creative labour, organisations and artistic production in the building of and sustaining multicultural heritage. How do multicultural art organisations express, build and maintain cultural heritage from their represented communities? Who are their stakeholders and what are the challenges in serving their, at times, conflicting motivations? What is the role of institutional archive in the build-up and extenuation of artistic expression of cultural heritage? Where do artists/creative labour situate in the developmental journey of these organisations against the backdrop of funding pressure, organisational survival, and the shifting political and socio-cultural landscape?
This webinar is the second in a two part series of panel discussions with art/cultural policymakers, art practitioners and professionals, and academic researchers, unpacking systematic issues within multicultural art organisations and the sectoral challenges of equality, diversity and inclusivity in recent years. The panel will include Terry Adams (Relationship Manager for Diversity, Arts Council England), Sepake Angiama (Artistic director, Institute for International Visual Arts), Dr Susan Ashley (Associate Professor, MA Creative and Cultural Industries Management, Northumbria University), Dinu Li (multimedia artist), and Marianna Tsionki (Senior Curator, Centre for Contemporary Chinese Art).
