"Art as Philosophy"
Increasing Diversity In Conversations that Matter
Changed since originally posted
In light of the kind of conversations dominating the media with regard to the economy and emerging business landscape, it is important to remember that there is a place for your voice to be heard. I'd like to hear and help you share your insights.
Cultural Fusion is interested in understanding diversity beyond the old world context of race, nationality, etc. The lines of demarcation of culture have become more fluid and so must our understanding.
As with the previous radio shows, I will select from this audio library for content to be included in my installation series. This series of conversations is for a piece called "cf House of Cards". These audios will be used in interactive software art are components in the installation experience both on site and virtually. In addition to functioning as art, the series will also document aspects of this time in history and the roles we choose to play in creating it.
Recently I changed the format for my radio show. That shift includes panel discussions that call for greater diversity in contributors to these very important conversations. This is the first panel, a new topic will be discussed each time unless otherwise indicated.
Before building a new strategy it is common to start by surveying the context to define needs. In community development this is called a needs assessment This is an important step towards formulating a strategy. However, in the past the contributors to the most important conversations have often been less than culturally diverse.
The web and globalization are redefining community, leading to new innovations in economic models and therefore it will have an increasing impact on regional economic development and subsequently the way communities operate to better meet the needs of the people. Whether we find new ways of doing things or simply find new ways to supplement what is.
It seems important to consider these issues in the context of the individual operating increasingly in open systems facilitated by the internet, as well as the push towards transparency that will shape the success of globalization. But these areas impact other issues not directly related to business and commerce. The personal aspects of what is happening are not side issues and need to be honored.
How it will work?
I am sharing this invitation with groups likely to be interested. Anyone wanting to participate should contact me with "discussion panel" as the subject. Selected participants will be notified at least a week in advance with request for confirmation.
Three to Five panelists will call in at the designated time to address five or six questions (may be adjusted for time allowed) to illuminate the needs within your area of interest and then each will have the chance to express their ideas about the way forward. Much of the conversation about what is going on has centered on things we have limited control over, namely the behavior and choices of others.
I will be using these panels to learn about, document, and increase awareness of what individuals and groups are doing now to shape tomorrow consciously- and what others have to say about inclusion, progress, prosperity, and the way forward. Thereby helping me to advance my inquiry into art with purpose also known as "art as philosophy".
Thank you so much to the people that have inspired me to develop this idea!
