SCAN Summit 2022 will explore how arts and culture can speak clearly, positively, and compassionately at times of political upheaval. Across a day-long programme of presentations, talks, exercises and screenings, we’ll hear from a range of guests about using art as a means to amplify marginalised voices, a currency for sharing beyond borders, and a tool for making power visible.
In the few short years since our last Summit in 2019, the rights and liberties of many communities around the world have been undermined by action and inaction. Through war, occupation, displacement and discrimination, it has felt increasingly necessary to consider the means through which cultural work resists or upholds political violence. Knowing that contemporary art has the capacity to inspire action and envision bold futures, we'll ask how cultural workers and artists can share strategies and communicate difficult stories ethically and empathetically.
The SCAN Summit 2022 hopes to make space for peer-learning and mutual support as we think through the challenges and responsibilities of cultural work in an uncertain time.
