For (and by) artists: public talk with international guests about support for artists
Exchange ideas and experiences with other artists and international guests on how artists and artist-focused organisations can create a supportive environment for artistic practices.
After a keynote introduction on Infrastructures of care and support for (and by) artists by Danielle van Zuijlen (Kunsthal Gent, NUCLEO), six international guest artists and curators briefly introduce themselves and explain which formats or instruments they use to support artists in their daily practice. Afterwards, you can exchange examples with the guests in smaller groups, and discuss questions such as: what kind of support do you need to develop your artistic practice? How does exchange with peers nourish your artistic environment? How can organisations supporting artists play a role in building more sustainable relationships around artistic practices? Can support organisations extend from a local to an international scale?
What are your examples and what are your questions? What can artists and artist-centred organisations do together? Join the talk and start building a sustainable environment for your and everyone’s artistic practice.
This public talk is organised in collaboration UFO organisations in the framework if the UFO Visitors Programme.
