Session 573 - The Art of Resilience: Creativity, Courage and Renewal
(2017)
Abstract
The aim of Session 573 – The Art of Resilience: Creativity, Courage and Renewal – was to identify and better understand ways in which artists, cultural workers, and creatives might be able to inspire and strengthen the capacities of individuals, communities, and our societies at large to confront the unexpected and to respond creatively and courageously to seemingly infinite sources of shock and disruption. Between February 7 and February 12, 2017, 50 practitioners were convened at Salzburg Global to explore the intersections of the arts, culture and resilience. This is a report of the activities and discussions which took place.

The mission of Salzburg Global Seminar, a non-profit organization founded in 1947, is to challenge current and future leaders to shape a better world. Salzburg Global convenes outstanding individuals from across generations, cultures and sectors to inspire new thinking and action during five day retreats. For my specific inputs to this meeting, see page 50, "Cultural Heritage and Resilience."
