Art plays a fundamental role in the construction of new imaginaries. It creates spaces where diversity is constantly negotiated, and it gives voice to plurality, substantiating practices that encourage, implicitly, political and emotional participation. To give it back space is to free up that capacity for imagination that we extremely need. But what does it mean to produce culture?
Also stimulated by the lines promoted by the European Union, the public debate is shifting to the issue of the access to art while avoiding the thorny questions: how to build generative production spaces that can define themselves as free and plural? Who defines the redistributive outlines of knowledge, power, and economics? Especially in the cultural sphere, the central question indeed remains not what, but who decides.
This is the starting point that invites us to ask who are, today, the people and realities that have the opportunity to create artistic forms and languages and how we can collectively rethink cultural policies to make them more inclusive, open and plural.
