The event focuses on switching between roles while working in the arts and adjusting to various expectations that accompany them. Wearing multiple hats, stepping into the role of the producer for another artist, additionally working as a curator in a new context, suddenly being part of different kinds of decision-making. We’re curious to discuss shifts in power relationships and how roles form in collectives, how to align priorities in collectives in a field that operates on immense motivation and how to then navigate tension that can emerge when people’s individual “drives” don’t always perfectly line up in identical ways.
The event is aimed for visiting and local cultural professionals to meet each other and exchange thoughts during this laboratory. Activities will be led by various cultural workers and artists, soup will be offered by höjden studios!
