Participatory arts – a postponed revolution?

Participatory arts do not only entail a creative process that involves audiences and communities – they enable shared and democratic processes of decision-making and ownership.

In this panel, we take from the experience of those who develop participatory community arts projects to realise the potential of these processes were they to be global and permanent.
