Creative Week: Decoration, Product or Social Structure? Seeking the Value of Culture

Public funding for culture is tightening, and foundations cannot bear the full responsibility for financing the cultural sector. Yet many agree that culture is a fundamental social structure. Could the solution to funding challenges be found in startup-world financing models?

Welcome to a discussion about money and power. The central question is whether conditions for cultural growth can be created without compromising artistic freedom, quality, and ideals?

Speakers: Pelle Amberntsson, researcher and analyst, Kulturanalys Norden; Erik Båsk, chief executive officer, Kordelins stiftelse; Filip Hiltmann, marketing manager, Way Out West; Matilda von Weissenberg, chief executive officer, & Espoo Theatre. Moderator: Hilla Körkko, journalist, Uusi juttu. Hanasaari Cultural Centre and the Nordic Cultural Point organize the discussion as part of ODDfest's Creative Week. The discussion is conducted in Swedish. The event is free and open to all.
