Community Creativity under Austerity MIAAW.net

    • Philosophy

In Culture of Possibility #39, Arlene Goldbard and François Matarasso talk about the difficult conditions community-based artists and groups must work under as austerity measures, encroaching authoritarianism, and challenging world problems increase.

They talk about artists’ strengths in building community for such times, and the importance of uncertainty in nurturing a culture of possibility. They encourage listeners to approach the future from the perspective of readiness: what will be needed to face challenges and opportunities, and how can you develop it?

Listeners are asked to offer their own perspectives and ideas by writing a response in the form of an email. You can find the address to write to at https://miaaw.net
