Entering a museum, attending an art event, submitting an art proposal or job application – these might seem like straightforward actions for some of us. But which bodies, and which identities are these processes currently suited for?<\/span><\/h4>\n

This panel invites you to enter into a conversation about who is included on an institutional level, and how we might build or change infrastructures to work towards a more inclusive cultural field in Iceland. What are institutions currently doing to include a diverse range of artists and cultural workers? What do they mean when they say diverse audiences and what kinds of inclusion are and should they be working towards?<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us in discussing institutional infrastructures and how they help or hinder diversity and inclusion. We will hear from:<\/span><\/p>\n

Bj\u00f6rt Sigfinnsd\u00f3ttir<\/strong>. Director of LungA School and Festival, she\/her<\/span><\/p>\n

Sabina Westerholm<\/strong>. Director of the Nordic House, she\/her<\/span><\/p>\n

Halla Margr\u00e9t J\u00f3hannesd\u00f3ttir. <\/strong>Public Engagement Project Manager at Reykjavik Art Museum<\/span><\/p>\n

Vigd\u00eds Jakobsd\u00f3ttir<\/strong>. Artistic Director and CEO of Reykjavik Arts Festival, she\/her<\/span><\/p>\n

This panel will be moderated by Chanel Bj\u00f6rk Sturlud\u00f3ttir<\/strong>. TV reporter and activist, she\/her<\/span><\/p>\n

Each speaker will discuss institutional infrastructures and how they work for (or against) diversity and inclusion within their organizations. These organizations have been invited to speak on the basis of their position in the Icelandic cultural field and will offer a range of experiences in terms of their involvement with the themes of diversity and inclusion. Cultural leadership roles are primarily occupied by those with more dominant or majority identities, but we hope that you will join us in hearing how they, and we, can unpack how we might constructively address this. Please bring your questions as much as your ears!<\/span><\/p>\n
