SUMMARY:Reset: A New Public Agenda for the Arts – conference
DESCRIPTION:BCCM CEO Melina Morrison is speaking in an in-conversation panel on A Fair Deal for Artists: winning the economic rights of cultural workers on Friday\, 12 November. \nThere’s no doubt that the arts and cultural sector is facing a crisis in Australia. After years of cuts\, the gig economy\, undermining of the public and democratic value of the arts\, and the ever-widening gap between haves and have-nots\, the sector has been slammed by the pandemic\, with long-term consequences set to last years. \nThe way out of this mess cannot be incremental tinkering\, but rather a transformative reset of policy and advocacy – a bold new public agenda for the arts. \nHow do we return arts and culture to their rightful place in public policy? What would public reconstruction of the arts look like? How could we create a fairer deal for artists and arts workers? What kind of new ‘policy imaginary’ can place arts and culture at the heart of a healthy\, diverse\, inclusive\, and participatory democracy? \nReset: A New Public Agenda for the Arts offers two days and nights of thinking and discussion about how the arts and cultural sector could work to break out of the current impasse through a radical reorganisation of cultural practice and policy. \nPresented by: Arts Industry Council of South Australia and Reset (Flinders University\, University of Adelaide\, and University of South Australia)\, in association with the Don Dunstan Foundation. \nThe conference takes place online and in-person in Melbourne.
