Victoria Durrer set the context for this second of five AHRC funded seminars exploring intercultural exchange in arts and cultural management. The event took place at Queen’s University Belfast with practitioners and policymakers in Northern Ireland on April 6/7th 2017. This seminar considered the development of arts and cultural management as a legitimised professional practice.
This presentation set out the rationale for exploring the origins that have shaped the discipline from different perspectives and why it might be important to understand how the emergence of traditions, assumptions and habits impact on intercultural exchange and thus influence ethnic (in)equality in the sector.
