Reports of a previous conference and publication Joining the Dots (2010 – 2011)
In 2010, the supporting organisations for the arts, Flanders Image (Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds) and Flanders Literature (Vlaams Fonds voor de Letteren) organised a two-day conference on international culture policy. The intention was
- to map international artistic practice in all its diversity;
- to shed more light on the main obstacles to working internationally and
- to provide a number of tools and recommendations for future-oriented international art policies on different government levels.
On the first day, speakers from abroad shared their perspectives on a sustainable international culture policy, on art and mobility, and ecology and urbanity in an international environment. The second day focussed on the Flemish policy level.
What elements form the basis for a sustainable international culture policy? How, to this end, can the existing instruments be applied or supplemented?
