creative power of the arts : reimagining human and planetary flourishing

Over the course of a year, a group of Salzburg global fellows came together to discuss in the context of COVID-19, the climate emergency, structural injustices, and the mutual challenges they are facing. Together, they engaged in a joint creative and constructive inquiry to reflect deeper on how it is possible to overcome divides through collaboration towards a transformative change that leads to genuine human and planetary flourishing. Increased awareness of structural injustices in societies worldwide has led to urgent calls for the arts and culture sector to play a more active role in promoting social justice, designing and implementing more inclusive practices, and initiating and supporting complex processes of decolonization around the globe.
