HAVING A VOICE
Peripheries and participation
at the heart of cultural policies
EN The conference “having a voice” brings together in Lisbon researchers from two different European projects – “Stronger Peripheries: A Southern Coalition” and “Be SpectACTive!” – with Lisbon’s artistic community, for a wide debate on the most relevant issues concerning participation in the cultural field, with particular focus in the context of the peripheries. Assuming the specificities of the peripheral condition, in geographic, social and cultural terms, this discussion aims to bring the awareness on cultural diversity and on effective participative mechanisms to the core of cultural policies.
It gathers cultural managers, artists and researchers from the Southern and Eastern Europe, but also from the global south and global north, and from the multiple peripheries within each of those, disentangling the complexities of peripherality and discussing the mechanisms to empower and give a voice to the cultural diversity of these territories and the way it can be heard and considered within cultural policies.
PT A conferência “Having a voice / Ter uma voz” reúne em Lisboa investigadores de dois projetos europeus distintos – “Stronger Peripheries: A Southern Coalition” and “BeSpeCTAtive!” – em diálogo com a comunidade artística e cultural de Lisboa, para um amplo debate sobre as questões mais relevantes em matéria de participação no campo cultural, com especial enfoque no contexto das periferias. Assumindo as especificidades da condição periférica, em termos geográficos, sociais e culturais, esta discussão procura trazer a sensibilidade acerca da diversidade cultural e de mecanismos participativos verdadeiramente efetivos para o cerne das políticas culturais. Reúne gestores culturais, artistas e investigadores, do Sul e do Leste da Europa, mas também do Sul e do Norte globais, e das múltiplas periferias que existem dentro de cada um destes, procurando destrinçar as complexidades da perifericidade e discutir os mecanismos que permitam capacitar e dar voz à diversidade cultural existente nesses territórios e à forma como esta poderá ser ouvida e considerada nas políticas culturais.
