The 9th World Summit on Arts and Culture is co-hosted by the Swedish Arts Council and the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies. It is scheduled to take place in Stockholm, Sweden on 3-5 May 2023.
It will bring together leading policy makers, researchers, managers and practitioners from the arts, culture and related sectors from around the world to explore artistic freedom as a fundamental pillar of cultural policy and examine how we can – and why we should – safeguard artistic freedom. Whose freedoms are safeguarded, by who and for whom? Are there dominant narratives and what role do they play in decision making? What effect has the COVID-19 pandemic had on artistic freedom? When does safety evolve into freedom? What – and who – defines the role of the artist as creator and/or activist? And what regulatory frameworks exist to enable and safeguard freedom of expression; how do they operate; and what more could be done?
