LA CULTURA NO ES UNA AUTOPISTA, LOS MUSEOS PODRÍAN SER JARDINES.

Toma de decisiones y distribución de recursos en el ámbito de la producción artística y cultural

This book explores institutional structures, especially related to decision-making in the field of cultural and artistic production and the distribution of resources. We examine the different axes of discrimination based on origin, race, gender, sexual orientation and disability, and seek to create tools and suggestions to contribute to equitable access to resources for cultural and artistic production, as well as to diversify the cultural programmes created. At the same time, we have sought mechanisms to ensure the inclusion of artists and cultural workers who ‘represent diversity’ not only outwardly, but also in the internal structures, in the highest places of power and decision-making in the cultural sector.

The publishers of the book will be present at the presentation in conversation with the director of Santa Mònica, Enric Puig Punyet.
