How can we ensure that the built environment and public art are accessible to everyone now and in the future? The Forming the future for all seminar will address diversity and power in relation to the accessibility of urban environments and art.

Presenting art in public spaces can offer artistic experiences to those for whom traditional art venues are inaccessible. However, public art always has a relationship with its surroundings, such as the built urban environment.

The seminar will explore who has access to built environments. How can public art, art events, and urban culture be made accessible, for example, to disabled participants or artists?

The seminar will focus particularly on temporary, ephemeral, and event-based public art. Speakers will include artists featured in the ANTI Festival 2024 programme.

The Arts Promotion Centre Finland’s Creative Net project and ANTI Festival are organizing the “Forming the future for all” seminar as part of the ANTI Festival in Kuopio.

The seminar will be conducted in English. You can also join the event online.
