Who cares?

Matthijs Bouw will be giving a lecture at a symposium in Felix Meritis initiated by SKOR on the 30st of October. The symposium Speculations on the Cultural Organisation of Civility is the first in the series of symposia Actors, Agents and Attendants that aims to question the role of art and the creative industries in the formation of contemporary civility. Focusing on healthcare as a prime site of global market-driven transformation in governmental policies, this symposium brings together writers, artists, architects, curators and politicians to question the role of art and its assumed ameliorative function.

The structure of this symposium stages theories and case studies alongside each other, providing a significant and radical overview of the field.
Amongst other speakers are: Ann Demeester (director De Appel), Matthew Taylor (Chief Executive of the RSA and former Chief Advisor to the British Prime Minister), Hedy d’Ancona (politician and sociologist) and Markus Miessen, architect and theorist.
