Building bridges: The concrete action for interculturalism and inclusion in Nordic theatre, 27th of October, Espoo
Seminar on Friday 27. October 2023, 10.00-16.15
The Nordic societies are ever changing and increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse. Nevertheless, the existing arts and culture institutions do not yet reflect these changes or the diverse reality that exists in the Nordics. Which action is needed to normalise inclusivity and diversity?
The seminar discusses how the cultural and linguistic diversity has influence in the Nordics, in the diversifying performing arts scene. Which new ways of working and new forms of collaboration are needed to create a more inclusive and equal performing arts field? How can inclusivity and diversity be ensured on, around and in front of the stage? Whose stories are told in the Nordic Region?
The seminar Building Bridges: The Concrete Action for Interculturalism and Inclusion in Nordic Theatre brings together decision-makers and performing arts professionals in the Nordic Region to discuss concrete action for a more intercultural and inclusive performing arts scene.
The seminar is organised by the New Theatre Helsinki initiative and the New Nordic Network: A Platform for Diversity. It is a network of performing arts organizations, groups and collectives, freelance artists and art producers working with the themes of cultural/lingual diversity and inclusion and based in the Nordics or with a strong connection to the Nordic countries.
Supported by the Nordic Culture Foundation and the Nordic Culture Point and organised together with the Hanaholmen Cultural Centre.
The seminar language is English.
