Producer utopia discussion 12.4.
Mad House Helsinki and Suin päin Art Cooperative are organising a discussion event on Wed 12.4.2023 called Tuottajautopia, which aims to bring together cultural producers, artists and educational institutions that train producers and artists in the free field of performing arts. It is about dreaming together, aware of the current situation and focused on solutions, and imagining the future through possibilities. The debate will be guided by the question: how to promote the development of artistic-production cooperation in the liberal arts in the future? We can take collective responsibility for the development of the sector. It is important to come together to dream and to give space to different perspectives. What can we do differently to make the changes we want to see happen?
The discussion will be facilitated by cultural producer Ulrika Vilke and dance artist-choreographer Pie Kär.
