The European Network of Cultural Centre's annual conference will be focusing on Practices and Imaginaries for Post-Fossil Cultures aiming to go beyond the catch-all keyword to highlight specific intersections between culture, ecology, digital practices and care.
The event will highlight the role of cultural centres in building imaginaries and providing inspiration to navigate future horizons. A key concern will be moving away from extractive logic - which exhausts natural resources, human resources, and data - towards collective practices for care, creation and flourishing. Guests and participants from the fields of culture, social work, art, research, ecology, digital practices, architecture and lansdcape planning, European policy and trans*feminist technoscience will participate.
In-depth workshops will look at how cultural organisations can switch to a more ethical and sustainable use of digital, care for their human resources, improve their environmental impact and use art as a transformational practice. The conference takes place between 29 and 31 March in Orihuela, Spain. Find more information and the registration link here.
The conference is organised in collaboration with the Ibero-American Foundation for Cultural and Creative Industries and the Municipality of Orihuela. It is endorsed and promoted by the New European Bauhaus.
