Read the articles from the Fund’s anthology “Reflections – art culture politics society”

Last year the Fund published the anthology “Reflections – art culture politics society” which invites new conversations on the development and future of cultural policy

The book’s contributors include Ove Kaj Pedersen, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Political Economy, Eva Bergquist, Director of the Culture Administration, Region Stockholm, the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, Maria Jørstad, Managing Director of Talent Norge, and Frederik Tygstrup, Director of the research project “Art as Forum”.

The articles involve and discuss such topics as the role of the arts in a democracy, the issue of centre and periphery, the relationship between the national and the global, the development of the financial and institutional framework for arts and culture, and the crucial role of arts and culture in the development of sustainable societies.

The book will serve as a starting point for a number of conversations and dialogue meetings on cultural policy in various parts of the Nordic region in the next couple of years.
