Description
The objective of this seminar is to introduce students to the topic of sustainable management and marketing in the cultural field.
Engaged artworks, understood as the integration of sustainable development principles in art management, are used to express societal needs in order to trigger imagination of people and their motivations to recognize cultural values and behavior. The power of "engaged artwork" is the power to shape mindsets of groups of persons by touching upon cultural sensitivities and feelings. Engaged Artworks influence people behavior beyond rational reasoning, beyond scientific, technical, and technological developments. UNESCO has set an agenda for Sustainable Development. As UNESCO states, it ensures that the role of culture is recognized through a majority of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including cultural heritage to cultural and creative industries.
