CULTURAL DIALOGUES Autumn 2024

Since September of 2023, Globe Art Point has been hosting Cultural Dialogues, an event series in a dialogue format spearheaded by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike). The dialogues centred around art and culture question the role of artists in today's society with a specific focus on the experiences of BIPOC and international artists living and working in Finland. 

WHAT?

Cultural Dialogues are moderated discussions that bring together artists, cultural workers, and other creatives in the fields of art and culture. Each season, the dialogues revolve around a unique theme, offering participants a chance to explore different perspectives. Held in an intimate "circle of trust," these conversations welcome everyone to share both personal and professional experiences from their time in Finland.

These conversations aim to foster a deeper understanding of the professional artistic community and the unique challenges faced by artists from diverse backgrounds based in Finland. An audio recording will be made during the Dialogues for transcription purposes. Transcripts of the recording will be anonymised.

BY WHOM?

Cultural Dialogues have been initiated by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike) and organised in collaboration with Globe Art Point (G.A.P) and the Ministry of Education and Culture (OKM). The insights and topics discussed during these events will serve as valuable input for Taike, G.A.P and OKM in developing programmes that support diversity and accessibility within the cultural and artistic landscape in Finland. 

Importantly, the summary of our dialogues is to be presented to the working group on the cultural policy report that will be included in the prime minister Orpo's government programme. The vision presented in the cultural policy report and the measures to achieve it are based on the situational picture of the arts and culture sector and its key drivers of change. This report will create an ambitious vision for the long-term development of Finland's arts and cultural policy.

Guiding Principles

These dialogues are founded on principles of open and respectful discussion. Participants are encouraged to share their personal perspectives without judgement or pressure to reach a consensus. Each participant’s viewpoint is valued, and the goal is mutual understanding.

Rules of Engagement

To facilitate productive conversations, we follow the constructive dialogue rules developed by Timeout method “Erätauko”:

1. Listen to the others, do not interrupt or start additional discussions.
2. Relate what you say to what the others have said and use everyday language.
3. Talk about your own experience. It is important for us!
4. Raise your hand when you want to speak up. Ask questions if you want to know more about other participants’ experiences.
5. Be present and respect the others and the confidentiality of the discussion. Each participant’s feelings are individual. Together we make sure that all participants feel safe.
6. Find and bring together. Don’t be afraid to express unfinished or unclear thoughts, they may be picked up by others. Don’t be afraid to share what you have not yet found an explanation for.
