The association Mémoire de l'Avenir will work alongside artists and personalities from the humanities around the fundamental importance of the artist's role and creativity and the necessary interdisciplinary collaboration for a better understanding of the challenges we are facing. It will also present the Open Windows project: born from the desire to continue to share ideas, reflections and art works during the period of distancing experienced by the whole planet.
Each of ResiliArt debate is structured around four key themes:
- Constraints artists face as a result of the current confinement measures
- The current and future financial consequences of the health crisis on creative professions
- Measures that governments, international organizations and the private sector, among other actors, can put in place to support artists during and following this crisis
- How to develop cultural policies and funding models that adequately respond to crises
Mémoire de l'Avenir will also contribute to the understanding of the current state of cultural emergency on the following questions:
- How is transdisciplinarity and collaboration between the humanities and the arts fundamental in general and more particularly during a crisis such as that of the pandemic which has imposed rules of social distancing?
- What answers can the arts and the humanities provide locally or globally? With what impact on society in general?
- What are the tools and concrete actions that you have reinvented and developed to adapt to this situation?
- Are those tools and actions offering new ways of creating?
We will discuss these questions with 6 speakers from the humanities and the arts :
