The Conference intends to cover a number of issues and concerns about the challenges, limitations, paradoxes and perspectives that cultural research, practices and policies are more and more facing around the concept of participatory governance in culture. In order to understand the meaning and role of participatory governance in culture, it is important to explore: changes in the socio-political context, cultural and social effects of new models of governance, modes and levels of involvement of all relevant stakeholders in decision-making processes and the (re)organization and relevance of their roles.

The conference will gather scholars, researchers, theoreticians, cultural operators, artists, practitioners, activists, policymakers and decision-makers from across the world and a broad range of disciplines. Therefore the conference presents an interdisciplinary effort in collecting new information, discussing various practical, theoretical and political approaches and meanings of participatory governance in different geopolitical and social contexts and generating new ideas for integration of these practices into the existing framework of cultural and other relevant policies.

The conference program will be published soon. You can expect three days of dynamic program with keynote speeches, plenary discussions, research paper sessions, participatory sessions, artistic programs and space for sharing, exchanging and networking. At the moment confirmed speakers include: Jordi Baltà Portolés, Arundhati Ghosh, Christian Iaione, Leila Jancovich, Levente Polyák, Justin O’Connor, and Mike van Graan.
