Video recording of the keynote “Why we cannot avoid change” with Feimatta Conteh 11/10/2022

Feimatta Conteh is Environmental Sustainability Manager at the Manchester International Festival. She has been involved in sustainability, technological development, digital culture, and the arts for more than 15 years. Her keynote emphasised that change must not be limited to methods but also encompass the way of thinking. Using the festival, which has by now become established as “Factory International”, as an example, she described a number of levers a production site can use to increase sustainability and develop a new corporate culture. This is also about putting the field of Creative Learning at the focus as it will anchor the new structure in society.

Greetings from Kent Nagano

The concept of change combines the positive significance of the ever-new aspect of the arts with the inevitable risks of social division for Kent Nagano, cosmopolitan and Hamburg’s gen-eral music director. From his preparations for the new production of Wagner’s Ring at the Hamburg State Opera, Nagano sent a greeting message to TAOME, invoking basic human constants in times of extreme upheaval. In this context, the cultural venues as well as the mu-sic itself play special roles for Nagano as a sign of a society in which people maintain con-tact.

Video recording “Collaboration as a form of organisation: How to learn future-oriented thinking in old systems?” with Jasmin Vogel 13/10/2022

Change clearly is connected to boldness, says Jasmin Vogel, executive director of the Kulturforum in Witten since 2019. For example, a – serious – change-oriented participation process is only possible if accepting that only part of one’s own idea is going to be evident in the final project. She presented a number of examples of how participation can turn into a creative and innovation driver within an organisation in her lecture.

Video recording “The music business and ecological responsibility” 11/10/2022

What role do the arts play in developing a sustainable society and what experiences from the time of the pandemic may be useful in this context? Soumik Datta, who performed music in London’s orphaned cultural spaces during the pandemic, focused on the expanded role of those creating culture. Manuel Rivera called for making the urgency and the dramatic situation of our planet in light of climate change much clearer in the context of art as well and asked everyone to think about new ways of working. Becky Hazelwood also considers the arts capable of reaching people in ways that go beyond the capacities of abstract facts and figures.
