Dr Tiina Kukkonen- Envisioning the Future of Artistic Interventions: From Research to Action
Artistic interventions require different types of supports and resources to ensure their success within educational and social contexts, such as adequate funding, strong leadership and community involvement. Assembling and developing such supports over time can be a challenge for those involved in the interventions (e.g. artists, schools, communities, organisations). In some cases, the partnerships formed between various supporting entities collapse and/or the necessary resources cannot be found, causing the artistic interventions to fizzle out.
In this participatory session, we will discuss strategies and visions for the sustainability of artistic interventions within educational and social contexts from the perspective of different stakeholder groups. We will draw on research and calls to action from Canada and around the world to inform our discussion and inspire future action.
