🌱 Exploring How Art Drives Societal Transformation: The 9 Dimensions Tool A new resource for evaluating the impact of art and creative practices on societal change is now available: The 9 Dimensions Tool. Developed through the EU Horizon project CreaTures, this framework is the result of collaborative efforts from researchers, artists, funders, and policymakers working together to establish a shared language for assessing transformative art. Designed to be applied across all creative mediums from games and installations to film, music, and participatory art this tool bridges creative practice with sustainability transformations. Read the full article to explore how the 9 Dimensions Tool can help assess and amplify the impact of diverse art forms. 🌍 https://lnkd.in/g34BhmXE #CreativeTransformation #ArtForChange #SocietalImpact #Sustainability #CreaturesProject #ArtAndSociety

Sharing an exciting 2025 opportunity from one of our VAS artists. Happy to take questions or connect you if needed! Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gGmMpk2R ***** Artist and imprint convenor Jennifer Fyfe, in collaboration with The Victorian Artists Society, is pleased to announce a call for papers for a two-day symposium exploring the rich and dynamic intersections between art and storytelling. This event aims to bring together scholars, artists, practitioners, and creativity enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue, exchange ideas, and deepen our understanding of the multifaceted relationship between art and storytelling. Art and storytelling have long been intertwined, influencing and inspiring one another across cultures and throughout history. From cave paintings to contemporary digital media, artists have used various mediums and techniques to convey narratives, evoke emotions, challenge perspectives, and provoke thought. Whether through visual arts, literature, film, theatre, music, or other creative forms, storytelling remains a fundamental aspect of human expression and communication. We invite submissions that explore any aspect of the relationship between art and storytelling, including but not limited to: - The role of narrative in visual arts and other creative disciplines - The use of symbolism, metaphor, and allegory in artistic expression - The influence of cultural, social, and historical contexts on storytelling practices - The intersection of traditional and contemporary storytelling techniques - The relationship between audience engagement and narrative interpretation - The impact of technology on storytelling and artistic production - Collaborative storytelling processes and interdisciplinary approaches - The ethics and responsibilities of storytelling in art We welcome proposals for individual papers, panel sessions, workshops, and creative presentations. Submissions should include an abstract (250-300 words) outlining the proposed topic, its relevance to the symposium theme, and any audiovisual or technical requirements.

🎨 Understanding Artistic Appropriation 🎨 Artistic appropriation is a complex practice where artists sample, borrow, or adapt elements from original works to forge new, innovative creations. This process can range from subtle homage to transformative reinterpretation, sparking discussions about creativity, ownership, and cultural significance. Key Insights: 🖼️ Sampling: Artists integrate snippets of music, images, or texts from existing works, breathing new life into them while potentially paying tribute to the original creator. 🔄 Adaptation: By recontextualizing or reshaping existing art, creators can convey fresh ideas or messages, opening avenues for dialogue about societal issues or collective experiences. ⚖️ Ownership: The fine line between inspiration and infringement raises questions about intellectual property rights, prompting discussions on fairness and respect in the creative community. 🌍 Cultural Sensitivity: Appropriation can be a double-edged sword—while it has the potential to celebrate cultures, it can also perpetuate stereotypes or exploit marginalized voices. Artists must navigate this landscape thoughtfully. 📚 Embracing artistic appropriation fosters innovation while encouraging respect for original creators.

The creative economy includes audiovisual products, design, media, music, performing arts, publishing and visual arts. An evolving concept by nature, it involves goods and services based on creativity and intellectual capital as primary inputs. With exports of these products growing strongly in recent years, robust regulatory frameworks are necessary to ensure technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) benefit everyone and foster a competitive and sustainable creative economy. That’s the main message from the Creative Economy Outlook 2024 released by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Find out more: https://ow.ly/OEhM50Szr0i

Behold the meagre imagination embarrassment in a televisual style at the enigmatic borderlands, unto itself softly scrolling a listless series of observational prose flattened into a wet pulp. An F-pattern blurred together in whitespace reflects the dispassionate user reciprocity over its unique architecture, mimicking the continuity of a cinematic montage, capturing interconnectedness, a rehabilitating one, eroded with no beginning or end. Intermezzo confessionalism is a system of voluntary disclosure to digitize footnotes that turned out to be written by different authors.  It's not so much a genre as a situation that mimics the feedback loops of social media. A voyeuristic curiosity that so much automatically displaces the bi-directional in a parasitic arrangement of the object of literary critique into a strange sense that something was missing, as performance over production turns an illusory appearance of a narcissist root into a tangled repository of independent units. Internet's immersive quality helps discover intrusive tendency and narrative convenience to be true, reenacting the alphabetic process of the paradigmatic engine over the ambiguity and fragmentation of the world and history, in a therapizing style to be gripped with both hands or in the purlieu of a computer screen.

Desperate for a ray of light on a gloomy day? The new La Monnaie season 24-25 has finally been unveiled! Discover our upcoming productions → www.lamonnaiedemunt.be ━━━━━ Breaking down boundaries, facing what seems different, seeking connection: it is all a matter of daring and doing. Belief in that human resolve also permeates our season campaign. While last year we had an AI machine generate images, this year we called on Antonin Waterkeyn, an artist who involves AI in his creative process. It is hard to imagine a better image of our relation to this new technology: by continuing to engage with it while at the same time reserving a greater role for the human curator, we are again making room for artistic authenticity and autonomy. As such, we are returning to what keeps the FATE and DARE axis in balance: the courage to face that destiny, while also investing fully in the human emotion needed to keep having an impact.
