AFIELD FORUM

For its 10th anniversary, AFIELD launches a public forum centered on artists as drivers of social change. Faced with an increasingly urgent and complex crisis, the field of art and culture is compelled to take more concrete actions for social and ecological justice. In line with its mission, AFIELD embarks on a three-year cycle of international meetings that aim to shed new light on the role of art in society.
 

How or why should artists contribute to a better society, if at all? What value or insights can they provide when they assume the role of NGO workers, educators, activists and other agents of social change? From 27 to 29 September, the AFIELD Forum brings together a host of international artists, activists, thinkers, cultural workers and social entrepreneurs to address these questions head-on.
