We would like to invite you to the fourth edition of the Conference on Research in the Cultural Sector, which will take place in Krakow on 28-29 November 2024. The registration of passive participants (audience) will continue until the limit of places is reached.
All those involved in the cultural sector, both researchers and practitioners, are invited to participate in the upcoming conference. Together, we would like to engage in a discussion that goes beyond the anthropocentric approach and to outline the broadest possible perspective of who and what (co)creates the cultural field.
The conference will be held in a full-time format at the Faculty of Management and Social Communication of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (at the address: ul. prof. S. Łojasiewicza 4).
The conference programme includes:
- Panel discussions:
- Culture in the hands of professionals: challenges and perspectives for the development of cultural professionals
- Climate change in the practice of the cultural sector: from research to more specific action
- Paper sessions - 40 presentations in which researchers from across Poland will present the findings of their analyses on a range of topics, including staff and audience dynamics within cultural organisations, management in cultural organisations, and the impact of the climate crisis and technology on cultural organisations
- Off-site visits to the Norwid Cultural Centre, the Cogiteon Małopolska Science Centre, and a walk through Wesoła – the Creative Quarter
- Workshops:
- Introduction to co-creation in culture using the design thinking method
- Customer Journey Mapping
- Multi-structure museum. Neurodiversity, sign languages and universal design
- The use of AI in the cultural sector. New tools for researchers
- Sources of cultural project emissions - how to reduce the environmental impact of cultural events
- Collages of the future as a research tool for cultural institutions
- VR and AR in cultural heritage institutions – towards experience
- Scenarios for the future of museums and art institutions up to 2050
- The participants will have the opportunity to see the results of a workshop run in early November 2024 by 4CF The Futures Literacy Company with UK partner FutureEverything as part of the British Council's Museums Revisited programme. During the programme, four future scenarios will be developed with representatives from Poland's major art institutions. These scenarios will be enriched with narratives and artefacts from the future to make the hypothetical futures more tangible. They will serve as the starting point both for identifying long-term challenges for museums and art institutions up to 2050, as well as for formulating recommendations and solutions in the form of new practices, technologies, tools, relations, competences, knowledge, etc. related to these challenges.
