Nike Jonah on the power of shared leadership
Broadening the conversation about ‘Working Internationally Sustainably’: Crossed perspectives from India, Bulgaria, the UK, Iran and the Gaza Strip. This is a series of conversations between Jumana Al-Yasiri, artists and art leaders from different contexts and continents.
Kunstenpunt | Flanders Arts Institute offers this podcast series as part of our trajectory A Fair New World?! in which we explore how to shape the new reality in a fair and inclusive way. In it, we connect our work around fair practices, sustainability, digitization and inclusive work.
In this conversation, Nike Jonah talks about the negotiating space between internationalism and diversity in art today, and the representation of African artists and artists from the African diaspora in international networks. It is an opportunity to compare best practices and approaches for a fairer and more inclusive arts sector in the UK and beyond.
