Claiming ownership of the transition, documenting impact and value, monitoring progress
Art and culture are no longer merely an indulgence or the exclusive privilege of a creative class. In today’s economy, creativity — understood as the capacity to shape or even create affect — has become imperative in almost every aspect of value generation across a wide range of productions and circulations. However, endowed with a power to be affected, the understanding of shared creativity is a precondition for claiming co-ownership of the transition and a circular approach to aesthetics. Specific cases might include explorations into reverse engineering data visualization; documentary theatre and post-dramatic strategies to monitor progress towards climate neutrality; anticipating a green post-war Ukraine as a model for the triple transition; stand-up strategies: nomadic, temporary and ephemeral modes of sustaining creative practice
