Lecture series: Theories and practices of cultural leadership
The lecture series begins from 15 October 2018 to 13 March 2019 at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, New Holland Pavilion.
Garage Museum of Contemporary Art resumes the lecture series focusing on the role of cultural leadership in the contemporary world, this year developed in partnership with the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy.
Following the original lecture series, the new programme features ten important British cultural leaders from various fields who will share their professional experience and detail the internal and external challenges they face in working for their respective organisations. They will also explain how a particular figure or cultural institution can change not only the status quo in their field, but also play a crucial role in the development of a city or a country.
This year’s audiences will encounter creative directors of major UK art venues, heads of leading British museums and galleries and curators of international festival programmes, all of whom will reveal the nuances of their practice and speak about their favorite projects and critical contenporary issues with which they are dealing on a daily basis.
The goal of the programme is to show that the concept of “cultural leadership” allows the generation of new ideas, meanings and products which influence the world and the people in it. Today people from completely different backgrounds can become cultural leaders, from statesmen and heads of major institutions to curators and producers, entrepreneurs and independent artists.
The inaugural lecture series was developed by Garage and the British Council in 2017. The second cycle has been developed by Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in partnership with the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy.
In St Petersburg the lectures will be repeated at New Holland.
