Festival Conference
The Audience in Focus?
This year’s conference is produced in collaboration with RePublik/Kultur i Väst. Together we’re highlighting the possibilities and challenges involved in focusing audiences. Audience development will be illuminated from a variety of perspectives.
The Audience in Focus?
Experiencing the unfamiliar and working with art as an inclusive method. What is the importance of the physical venue itself for our experience of art and culture? Questions dealing with perspectives such as representation, multiplicity and segmentation models will be raised. What do we know about those we hope to reach – and how do we reach them? Using research and personal experience as points of departure, conference participants will share their findings regarding the focusing of audiences
The Conference is held in Swedish and in English.
Two lunches and coffee is included.
