Spacemakers seek to contribute to systemic change by creating space for art in unexpected places, such as the economy, science, or technology. Their goal is to make society and the economy more inhabitable. Just and sustainable.
The SUSTAIN research project is dedicated to understanding and furthering Spacemaker practices.
Whether you are a Spacemaker, an artist, a commissioner, grant officer, a business leader or simply a curious spirit, we invite you to use SUSTAIN as a source of inspiration.
In a series of five cahiers – loosely based on Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey – we will be sharing our finding and insights.
Today’s focus is on Calling. This cahier addresses ‘the call to adventure’. What drives Spacemakers to create space for art in other contexts to achieve systemic change. What difference do they want to make? And from what idea, value, or conviction do they act? What is at stake?
Please find Calling cahier HERE (in ENGLISH) or HERE (in DUTCH)
Many thanks to the six Spacemakers that played a central role in our research: Art Partner, Circus Andersom, Future of Work, In4Art, V2_, and Waag.
