This panel is aimed at rethinking the opportunities, threats and challenges posed by digitalisation and the social change it brings about, especially in relation to creation and cultural practices in a broad sense. Thus, cases of cultural management will be presented and debated that allow for an in-depth study of cultural rights in the digital sphere or based on technologies and forms of participation that the digital change makes possible. 

Speakers:

Laurence Cuny (International Arts Rights Advisors): Being an Artist Today: opportunities and challenges in the digital environment.

Bartosz Wójcik (Małopolska Institute of Culture in Kraków): Małopolska’s Virtual Museums: towards universal cultural rights.

Paul Heritage, Stefan Priebe, Catherine Fung, Mariana Steffen, Aline Navegantes, Karina Ruiz (Queen Mary University of London): Far Apart but Close at Heart: creative strategies to overcome digital poverty under the Covid-19 pandemic in Latin America.
