Perfect for…

Anyone who’s excited, scared, optimistic, pessimistic, ready, panicking (and so on) about the next five years of the creative industries. Whether you’re an artist, curator, creator, cultural administrator or have any involvement in promoting emerging art, then this session is for you.

Why’s it interesting?

With mini-presentations, artistic interventions, micro-debates and open exchanges between  participants and the audience, this three-hour long session will look at the future of the creative industries from every possible angle. 

Amongst the participants there’s a special focus on new and emerging art forms, which require a different kind of support - economically, technically, administratively - than what traditional museums and institutions have been able to offer

Bringing together a never-before-seen combination of participants from some of the leading organisations and institutions that are supporting emerging art forms - from digital creations to brand-new disciplines - this is a state-of-the-union for the creative industries in 2025. 

What role do cultural organisations and art institutions have going forward? How can they continue to help bring new ideas and creative trends to the public domain and a world that’s increasingly fast-paced, fragmented and online?
