IMISCOE Seminar in Barcelona on the Inclusion of immigrants in the cultural policy mainstream

On 21 September 2015 IMISCOE will organise the seminar "Inclusion of immigrants in the cultural policy mainstream" at the History Museum in Barcelona, with support from the GRITIM team of Pompeu Fabra University.
The event aims to draw attention upon the marginalization of immigrants' cultural products. It is now much easier for North-Western artists to gain international recognition than for other artists who have to move to one of the Western metropolises, such as New York, Paris or Amsterdam, in order to attract wider interest in their works.
A change in cultural policies has only occurred at the end of the 1990s, to include migrants in the artistic mainstream. The seminar aims to analyse the way how cultural inclusion projects contributed to a change in the understanding of art and cultural products, from three perspectives: mobilisation of migrants; initiatives of cultural institutions to stimulate inclusion; and municipal, regional and state policies facilitating the cultural inclusion of migrants.
