Pitanje uloge kulture i liderstva u kulturi u današnjem društvu su blisko povezane sa umetničkim inovacijama, slobodom izražavanja kao i korišćenjem kulture za preispitivanje aktuelnih društvenih i političkih pojava. Neki uzdižu društvenu ulogu liderstva kulturi smatrajući je pogonom napretka i razvoja kulturnog sektora – „kreiranje radova, projekata i produkcija koje prikazuju spektar različitih mišljenja, osećanja i iskustava i donose energiju ekonomiji i širem društvu“. Sa druge strane, postoje i protivljenja korišćenju pojma liderstvo u oblasti kulture smatrajući da je to deo uvođenja neoliberalne i kapitalističke logike u polje kulture i umetnosti.

Tokom ovog razgovora, želimo da se čuju pogledi, mišljenja i stavovi koje profesionalci u domenu kulture imaju kada se govori o liderima i liderstvu. Takođe, želimo da diskutujemo o izazovima sa kojima se lideri u kulturi susreći i steknemo konstruktivne uvide u potrebe i mogućnosti za profesionalni razvoj u ovom polju.

“Leadership in culture today: perceptions, specificities, challenges, needs”

The questions about the role of culture and cultural leadership in today’s society are closely connected to artistic experimentation, freedom of expression as well as the use of culture as a medium for rethinking contemporary social and political issues. There are voices that praise the social role of leadership in culture that “means leading culture itself – making work, productions and projects which show different ways of thinking, feeling and experiencing the world – bringing dynamism to the economy and wider society.” On the other hand, there are voices which obstruct the use of term leadership within cultural field claiming that the concept is bringing neo-liberal business and capitalist logic into culture and artistic fields.

In this debate, cultural leadership is discussed disregarding official position in the hierarchy of an institution, but rather with the focus on experience in initiating and managing projects and organizations with the aim of artistic excellence and innovation, positive social changes and facing important social challenges. We want to hear perceptions, meanings and attitudes that professionals in culture attach to the words leader and leadership. However, we also want to discuss the challenges of leaders working in the field of culture and get constructive insights into the needs and means for professional development within this sector.

The panelists in the debate are Tatjana Cvjetićanin, Curator in National Museum in Belgrade and President of the Board of Balkan Museum Network in Belgrade; Dea Vidović on behalf of Croatian Foundation Kultura Nova; Karin Dalborg, CEO of the organization Nätverkstan from Gotheborg, Sweden; Karen Knight, freelance expert in the field of cultural heritage and one of the founders of Clore Leadership program in the UK. Panel will be moderated by Višnja Kisić, co-founder and development manager of Creative Mentorship.

As an intro to the debate, few alumni and members of the Creative Mentorship and Balkan Museum Network will give short statements and reflections on cultural leadership from their perspective: Goran Tomka, lecturer at UNESCO Chair for Cultural Management; Maja Lalić, creative director of Mikser; Nana Radenković, Creative Hub manager at the design incubator Nova Iskra; Katarina Živanović, coordinator for international cooperation and projects of the Museum of Yugoslav History; Mia David, lecturer at the Faculty for Technical Sciences in Novi Sad; Olga Svoboda, director of GI Group HR Solutions.

The debate is organized by Creative Mentorship, Balkan Museum Network and Nätverkstan, with the support of Swedish Institute.

The debate would be followed by official launching of the call for third generation of participants in the Creative Mentorship program, which will be open until the end of February.
