We warmly invite you to the symposium taking place in Kassel in parallel to the soon opening documenta fifteen. The symposium titled Forces of Art–Exploring new models of care taking for the funding ecosystem is organized by the documenta Institut and Prince Claus Fund in partnership with Hivos and Casco Art Institute. It brings together diverse stakeholders in the art ecosystem to reflect on the social value of art and the sustainability of its funding system, and to model a caretaking system for socially-engaged art.
