PANEL #2 - Our evolving ecosystem

activities
09 November
09:00 - 10:30
Hôtel Bonaventure
Our ecosystem seems to be in flux. From creation to programming, from critics to audiences, and from creative agents identifying new approaches to better circulate their artists, there is a kind of questioning or redefinition of each part of our chain, of our milieu. What are our common areas, how can we rethink the chain, recreate the links that make sense in our environment... from creation to new audiences, professionals think about their roles in an ecological whole and in a world in movement.
