Call for papers: Articles on art practices and cultural policies

The journal was originally established as the peer-reviewed Zeitschrift für Kulturmanagement and previously Jahrbuch Kulturmanagement. Under the new title, it is reaching beyond the German-speaking discourse to include a wider European and international perspective. It is published twice a year with a thematic section focusing on a special issue and an open section with contributions on varied topics.

The given topic focuses on responses to and long-term changes in the arts and cultural policy fields related to the current climate, health and economic crises. Manuscripts should examine organisational and economic models that allow for continued cultural production and community engagement during times of disaster.

The submission should answer the following questions: 

• How can we learn from instantaneous reactions to crises and cases of disaster mismanagement and translate these insights into viable practices? 
• What governmental and institutional policies are needed, in the long run, to secure a diverse artistic and cultural landscape?
• How can research methods, education and programming change to accommodate conditions of crises? 
• What do policies and practices for a resilient arts and cultural sector look like?

The platform accepts manuscripts in the following areas:

• Leadership and funding models.
• The economic impact of crises and disasters on the cultural sector.
• Hybrid programming (online and on-site).
• Working modes and conditions.
• Sustainable production both in terms of climate responsibility and institutional awareness.
• Risk management and risk policies in the cultural field.
• The resilience of the cultural sector.
