Networked: Dialogue and Exchange in the Global Art Ecology, an international conference to be held in London, UK, on 26-27 November 2011, will aim to answer why cultural networks are becoming so important at the local, national and international level. Do collaborative models threaten artists' and organizations’ independence? How do networks support artists and the production of new work and organizations in the current economic climate? The conference will focus on the latest research and debate on the role of cultural networks in the global art ecology. Speakers include leading artists, curators, academics, managers of grass-roots organizations and policy makers from over 20 countries.

This event marks the 30th anniversary of the Triangle Network, facilitating dialogue and exchange between artists and organizations around the world. In thirty years, Triangle has worked with over 4,200 artists and 70 organizations in more than 60 countries in Africa, Middle East, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Australia.
