On the 15th of August, Globe Art Point, in close collaboration with Luckan Helsingfors, proudly presents the third edition of the annual art conference, GAP ART SUMMIT. This year, our conference explores the critical theme of “censorship.” The GAP ART SUMMIT 2024 serves as a platform for actionable discourse and inclusive workshops, both in-person and online, aimed at empowering artists, cultural workers and creative professionals in Finland.
The programming places a spotlight on the complexities of censorship within the Finnish arts and culture landscape. We aim to deepen understanding of the challenges posed by censorship, exploring its implications on artistic expression, cultural diversity, and professional development. Throughout the event, discussions will feature figures from the Finnish cultural policy sphere, leaders from various institutions, as well as independent professionals representing associations and art organisations. Our agenda will encompass talks, panel discussions, and highly interactive sessions addressing the multifaceted nature of censorship.
By fostering dialogue and sharing insights, the GAP ART SUMMIT 2024 aims to equip attendees with tools to navigate censorship challenges, advocate for artistic freedom, and foster a culture of resilience within the creative community. Join us as we confront censorship and work towards a future where artistic expression thrives in an environment of openness and inclusivity.
GAP ART SUMMIT 2024 has been supported by the Arts Promotion Centre (Taike), the City of Helsinki and the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland.
