The fifth annual Creative Time Summit is the only regularly scheduled conference devoted to the intersection of art-making and social justice. Creative Time strives to provide meaningful opportunities for artists to explore new ideas, expand their practice and play a role in shaping a more just world.
This year’s Summit, titled Art, Place, and Dislocation in the 21st Century City, explores ways in which cultural production might address issues like gentrification, racialized urbanism, environmental catastrophe, and poverty. It will look at strategies for bottom-up planning and economic sustainability, and square off over best practices, as well as the risks of the increasingly popular creative placemaking. Lucy Lippard, Rebecca Solnit, Pedro Reyes, Vito Acconci, and a host of leading artists, planners, architects, activists, politicians, critics, and others from around the world discuss the role of art in the making and re-making of cities—for better or for worse.
