Radius of Art
Creative Politicization of the Public Sphere / Cultural Potential Forces
for Social Transformation
Berlin, Germany, 8-9 February 2012

The conference entitled Radius of Art: Creative Politicization of the
Public Sphere / Cultural Potential Forces for Social Transformation will
take place in Berlin, Germany, on 8-9 February 2012. The conference will
be organized within the framework of the EU / Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF)
project 'art-based research / research based art' and will be sponsored by
the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts in Kiel and the Heinrich Boell
Foundation Schleswig-Holstein.
The aim of the conference is to promote an exchange of views about
different approaches and experiences with forms of international cultural
cooperation and to formulate common targets for future collaboration.
Hence the event makes a contribution to the international debate on the
interaction of culture and development, with particular emphasis on the
relevance of arts and culture for social processes of democratization. The
participating cultural institutions, artists and other partners from the
fields of art, culture and social sciences will present concrete examples
of their work, both to evaluate the overall situation and to provide a
basis for a vivid exchange. In addition, there will be introductory
lectures on current theoretical discourse concerning the role and
importance of art and culture in social development, enabling the
structures of decision-making in cultural and development politics to be
expanded and questioned. Participative procedures will be employed to pool
and integrate the knowledge of conference participants and thereby deepen
the exchange among individual networks.
The conference will conclude with a discussion about the kinds of
structural reforms required in regard to the UNESCO Convention on Cultural
Diversity, so that cultural development projects as well as controversial
public art projects might receive the recognition within the sphere of
international cooperation.
