From Stage to State – The Role of Art in Shaping Democratic Spaces

 

The International Conference on Grassroots Culture, Arts, and Cultural Spaces for Political Participation and Expression in a Resilient Europe brings together scholars, researchers, and practitioners to explore the transformative power of grassroots arts and culture in strengthening democracy. Held in the historic city of Kraków, the event offers a vibrant setting for critical reflection, creative dialogue, and collaborative exchange. As part of the Horizon Europe project Democracy in Action, participants will examine how diverse artistic and cultural practices – from activism and civic engagement to digital creativity – can foster inclusion, social cohesion, and democratic resilience. The conference welcomes interdisciplinary contributions employing a range of methodologies and perspectives. By bridging research, practice, and policy, it aims to inspire new collaborations and re-imagine the role of arts and culture in shaping democratic life in Europe and beyond.
