Art talks
Art talks (Can Art Save the World) is a debate seminar series focused on the role of art in relation to our pressing present and uncertain future. In this debate series, internationally active artists, researchers, decision-makers, students, and individuals interested in art and the world engage in discussions. The larger perspectives are debated alongside a curious examination of details. The driving force of research permeates these conversations: curiosity, courage, risk-taking, friction, a strong determination, and a desire for change when fields of knowledge engage in dialogue with other fields of knowledge.
The seminar series was organized by the Stockholm University of the Arts in collaboration with Forum/Debate, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern. Here, you can access the latest seminars.
