Organised by the UNESCO Chair for Cultural Policy and Management of the University of the Arts in Belgrade, the conference "Another Artworld: Manifestations and Conditions of Equity in Visual Arts" aims to initiate discussion on principles of democratic governance and decision-making models in the field of visual arts. Sessions will be held online on Zoom in Central European Time.
What are the features of the essentially democratic funding of the contemporary visual arts system? What would be the definition of art in such a system, and what would be the position of the artist? What would be principles to organize production, ie. what would be the decision-making methods and how would the division of labour be organized? What existing examples (historical and current) are contributing to the comprehensive decentralization and democratization of the visual arts field? How do the systems of contemporary visual arts vary within different socio-politically organized societies or smaller communities? What models of organization and management at the micro and macro levels (which will develop a horizontal, substantive democratic approach) could be applied in the future?
These and other issues will be discussed by the conference participants and all those interested scholars whom we invite to apply for papers in various fields of research (management and cultural policy, the economics of culture, sociology of art, art theory, political science, etc.).
