You are welcome to join us in our third webinar, which is part of the series ”Re-newing Reviewing: New and Innovative Practices among Art Critics”.

Money is always an issue. It defines the opportunities you may have, it makes you feel both worthwhile and worthless – depending on the grant decision.

The webinar will approach economic structures from different perspectives: How can diversity be advanced in the structures of art economics? What do value and valorization mean in arts criticism? Why do we need support for international connections for artists and critics?

Topics

From observations to actions – how does Arts Promotion Centre Finland work toward structural changes in cultural diversity

Arts Promotion Centre Finland has recently started a Development Programme for Cultural Diversity and Mobility. How does it recognise and encourage cultural change? What kind of change can be made in five years time?

Koko Hubara works as the very first Art Advisor in the Development Programme for Cultural Diversity and Mobility in Arts Promotion Centre Finland (2022-2027). Hubara is also an author, journalist, translator, creative writing teacher and a founding member of Ruskeat tytöt Media.

Value and valorisation through the lense of art criticism

Taneli Viitahuhta is a Helsinki-based researcher, writer and musician. He is currently working on his Phd for the University of Jyväskylä, concerning the political and philosophical implications of Theodor Adorno’s critique of jazz. He has translated Walter Benjamin into Finnish (Keskuspuisto, Tutkijaliitto, 2014), and done multidisciplinary work on the 1962 Helsinki Youth Festival (Free Jazz Communism, Rab-Rab, 2019).

Arts need to travel more!

He has a background in music and performing arts and has previously worked as a producer, booking agent, project manager and general manager for a record label.
