visual artists | diverse conditions

Conference and working groups in 2024 (...)

The concept of diversity is becoming increasingly relevant in democratic and pluralistic societies. The diversity of lifestyles, identities and cultures is not yet reflected in all areas of a society or in its institutional structures.

Against this background, the IGBK will continue to examine the conditions of artistic work in Europe from the perspective of diversity in 2024. What impact do characteristics such as age, gender, origin/language and geographical location (or place of residence) have on the work of visual artists in addition to country-specific cultural policy, art policy and socio-political conditions? To what extent is the presence or absence of diversity structures in institutions, for example, noticeable in the work of artists?

An overview of all the partners in our gatherings until now.
