OAF Talks: Power

How are issues of power reflected in the field of art? Who gets to decide? How are decisions made? What are the OAF’s tools for a more equal distribution of power?

The theme of power emerges in the curation of the OAF’s programme and in the OAF Academy. A key issue in curating is the question of who has the power to decide what and how art is presented. Power has been the theme of the first season of the OAF Academy, and the artists of the Academy have addressed and continue to address it in different ways in their work.

The event will explore the OAF’s process of curating visual art, the work of the OAF Academy and the projects of OAF Academy artists from a power perspective. There will also be time for discussion and sharing of experiences. Opening remarks will be given by Kaisa Rönkkö, Director of The Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).

A more detailed programme will be updated on this page later.

We warmly welcome you to listen and discuss!
