How cultural policies and the way culture is done are being redesigned
Today, a generation of cultural and arts professionals are finding that the institutions that trained them continue to think of themselves as intermediaries in a pyramid of values, orders, and disciplines, while they become part of a much larger ecosystem.
For these professionals, to work is to “work”. To cooperate is to “make work”, to produce collectively. They meet around field experiences, projects to be produced, moments to make and think, support for public policies, competitive dialogues, European cooperation, public markets... They organize festivals, residencies, they produce stories, they program, they undertake, they map, they survey, they upload and download, they document... They work together. Peer to peer.
These complicities lay the foundation for new forms of public policy, outlining solutions for a sustainable transition. This is what this book addresses thanks to eleven contributions from the experiences of atypical operators acting in various parts of the cultural sector.
Pierre Brini is director of international cultural projects at Laba and associate professor at Sciences Po Grenoble. Emmanuel Vergès is co-director of the observatory of cultural policies Grenoble and cultural engineer at the Office (Marseille).
