A thought-provoking virtual event delved into the complexities surrounding the rise of authoritarianism across the globe, using a systems theory approach. Against the backdrop of shifting political landscapes, we organized an event to explore the trends fueling authoritarian tendencies in various parts of the world.

Our discussions laid the groundwork for understanding the multifaceted challenges confronting democracy worldwide.
As we navigate this landscape, we pivoted to a crucial question: how can artists and cultural workers serve as catalysts for inclusive democracies? Through intimate small-group conversations, we brainstormed innovative strategies and partnerships to foster resilience and progress in our communities.
Together, we envisioned a future where creativity and collaboration intersect to amplify voices and fortify democratic values.
Join us in shaping the agenda for future conversations, as we embark on a journey toward meaningful impact and lasting change.
