Dear everyone. Welcome to the event! We will start in 5 minutes. See you soon!

pessimism/optimism, utopia/dystopia, dark/light, motion/stop, hope-less... also in future narratives? ;-)

You are welcome to participate anytime using the chat function. We will bring up your comments and questions during the Q&A session. Please mention your name and profession 😀

What kind of competences or structures are needed, so that art could really serve as the future way of production? What changes are needed for this to become reality?

I think far too many "others" think things which are "normal" to me, are "weird" to them? and twice versa? :-)

How can art support community building? How many artists work on community gardens, work with for eg taloyhtiöt to create their vision, etc?

Thank you, great presentation! One thought: If art's one role is to make weird normal, does this process perhaps need also language or communication for ”normalizing” the weird (for the public?), so art could serve as the future way of production?

How to 'talk about art' as scaffolding for distributed collaborative capabilities at a national level?

Aku Ankka comes every monday now.

It is increasingly clear that art and culture are crucial to cultivating long-term attitudes and behaviours. They are foundational in shaping our collective direction of travel, from the kinds of laws we make, to the technology we develop, to the way we think about our role in shaping the future.

Art for internal sense-making — How to walk the talk with how we design organizations and initiatives? Art as a strategy for engagement — How can art help us organize communities of practice around complex topics? Art as change-making and subversive agent — How can art accelerate the materialization of our ideas by intervening in grey areas of regulation Art as pedagogy — How to make public various forces and forms of influence that are often invisible Art as decision-making — How to reorient modes of knowing and deliberating so that they take into consideration more aspects Art as shared joy — How can working and living with art make our lives more meaningful and joyful.

Imagination and visions are not dangerous as such. What goes wrong is their bad implementation or misuse for interests of a certain person or group.
