Hosted by:

Cultural ecosystems play a crucial role in fostering community resilience, social cohesion, and economic growth. Recent challenges such as political marginalization, war, global health crises, and long-term disinvestment have exposed the fragility and limitations of the structures that support these ecosystems.

Join CEC Artslink and the Culture & Arts Policy Institute to explore bottom-up models of cultural governance and the values and practices needed to cultivate thriving cultural landscapes. From rebuilding Ukraine’s cultural infrastructure after the Russian full-scale invasion to countering political oppression and marginalization across the Caucasus and Central Asia, and fostering networks of safety and solidarity in New York City, this panel will define typologies for creating, expanding, and sustaining new cultural ecologies that are shaped by lived experience.  

The discussion will be facilitated by Gonzalo Casals, Co-Director of the Culture & Arts Policy Institute, and will feature Tamara Janashia, founder and director of the Culture and Management Lab (Georgia), Hnat Zabrodskyy, Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Pavilion of Culture CF (Ukraine), and Randi Berry, Director of IndieSpace (U.S.)
