What the Cultural Sector Can Learn from the Covid Period
– Realizing the Nordic Potential

Best practices of distribution and innovation in the Nordic cultural sector today will be the focus of this event. Which new methods can be use together with the existing ones and what have we learnt from the Covid period?

How can cultural institutions, media and private actors interact with an audience in the current and post-covid situation? There is no doubt that the pandemic has meant a tremendous acceleration of the digital presence of cultural events. Will digital transformation and live-streaming continue to play a vital role, as we believe? If so, will the technological base for communication alter the producer – audience relationship? Will we see new forms of theatre, music and art? How can we prepare for and guide this transformation and do we recognize the potential?

Municipal and state funding for culture does not yet seem to be positioned to catch up in the fast moving digital landscape. Would the Nordic cultural sector benefit from more cross-national digital collaborations between the many digital projects across the Nordic landscape? If so, why are we not seeing more of them? What can we do to help the process along in order to reach a Nordic audience, so they can benefit from the richness of cultural and artistic offering?

The discussion will be moderated by Lise Bach Hansen, Head of Programming, Live, talks & literature, Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen.
