Discussion / Panel
The role of art in responding to the challenges of our time has been widely discussed across the cultural sector. But what happens when we move beyond awareness and into action?
This panel explores how musicians, cultural organisations and artistic practices can engage more actively with society through ARTivism. From creative activism and new artistic expressions to initiatives that address social, environmental and political issues, the discussion asks how culture can become a driver of engagement and transformation rather than only a space for reflection.
The conversation brings together Emma Axberg (one eARTh) with musicians and cultural organisers to explore how art, music and cultural networks can mobilise audiences, inspire new ways of thinking and create spaces for dialogue, solidarity and change.
Together, the panel asks: what does ARTivism look like in practice — and how can the cultural sector strengthen its role as an active force in society?
