Cultural Policy Pathways offers a critical and multifaceted reflection on how cultural policies can respond to the complexities of our time. Born out of the post-pandemic context and informed by international cooperation practices, the book maps emerging trends, critical debates, and transformative practices between 2020 and 2024.
Curated by Giuliana Ciancio, in collaboration with Cristina Carlini and Eleonora De Caroli, the book is the result of Liv.in.g’s work and vision, bringing together contributions from professionals across Europe and the Global South. Its goal is to share insights, strategies, examples, and tools with those working in the sector who are seeking structural, transformative, and inclusive change.
Three sections, a visual timeline, focus groups, and voices from the field: Call to Action is intended for those navigating institutions, networks, and cultural practices who are looking for guidance in an ever-evolving landscape.
It addresses social and climate justice, cultural labour and mobility, collective narratives, and new policies capable of moving beyond outdated logics. All this with a language that is both accessible and rigorous, aimed at cultural workers, researchers, institutions, and engaged citizens.
The publication includes a chapter written by On the Move Secretary General Marie Le Sourd, edited by John Ellingsworth.
