The Musagetes Guelph Café will take place from Wednesday, September 25, 2013 to Saturday, September 28,
2013. Musagetes’ artistic programs are informed by the research and discussions during our Cafés. We’ve held previous Cafés in London, England; Barcelona, Spain; Rijeka, Croatia; and Sudbury in Northern Ontario; where we brought together local narratives and external viewpoints on each city by inviting local and international thinkers and cultural producers to share their approaches.
With performances, workshops, live music, discussions, hands-on publishing, outdoor interventions, debates, and a neighbourhood audio zine, the Café will focus on bridge-building across communities and co-creating alternative social spaces. Here is what we’ll be talking and thinking about:
How do we approach the arts differently here?
Where is culture headed and who is taking it there?
How do we build strong communities with art?
What are the creative possibilities of social spaces outside home and work?
Of the many things that create a rich, critical, and vibrant arts scene, which contributes more, grassroots initiatives or big institutions?
What can we learn from music?
Is the art and culture we have in Guelph central and meaningful to people’s lives?
