A series of ART SCIENCE dialogues aims to distil the reasons and driving forces behind work, how societal changes impact our experience of work and how the workforce could be changed to serve a better society.
The second ART SCIENCE dialogue of this series, ‘Power, status and joyful creativity’, examines the position of artists and creatives in the current socio-economic and political context in an effort to understand the complexities of this position.
Artist Ton Kruse and researcher Juliet Vink discuss how the work of artists, creatives and academics is organized in todays society and how this is related to commercialism and government structures. Pressure, whether financial, performance related or otherwise, has become a mainstay of everyday work. Can we still find time and means for play, creativity and passion? The talk will be moderated by Nathanja van den Heuvel.
The talk is open to the public and free of charge.
