Culture and Consequence: The role of ethics in the arts today

12 June 2008, England

Culture and Consequence is a one-day conference produced by LCACE in partnership with the Cultural Leadership Programme.

The aim of the day is to provide a platform to open up for wider discussion some of the key ethical issues emerging for the arts and cultural sectors now.

At the heart of the event there is a desire to examine the sometimes uncomfortable relationships between arts and ethics with a view to exploring how, if or indeed should the arts be expected to be ethical.

The day will provide timely and provocative presentations as well as a range of panel discussions that will attempt to unpick the following themes and their relationship with the arts:

  • Profit and Value
  • Public Space
  • Human Rights and Human Goods
  • Faith and Conflict

The event will be of interest to artists, academics, arts organisations, cultural practitioners and policy-making bodies.
