Art Advising 101
With Avi Cicirean, Matthew Stephenson, Mia Legenstein, Andrei Jecza
A look inside the mechanics of collecting and how collections take shape. How taste is built and reworked over time. What an art advisor actually does. Less a rulebook, more a way of navigating.

Networks and Methods: On Building Resilient Artistic Ecosystems
How can artists and curators build support systems beyond traditional institutions, and what models sustain long-term collaboration?
This conversation explores collaborative, peer-to-peer, and self-organized practices, from residencies and independent initiatives to publishing and artist-led projects, that enable research, exchange, and experimentation. It examines how networks connect resources and knowledge across contexts, fostering mobility and cross-cultural dialogue.
Focusing on alternative funding, co-operative structures, and community-led initiatives, the session highlights practical approaches to building resilient, inclusive, and non-hierarchical artistic ecosystems.

Storytelling within a Schizophrenic Culture
With Dorian Electra, Günseli Yalcinkaya, Aaron Moulton
The image is unstable. Information is compromised.
“What is reality?” starts to feel less philosophical and more like a daily test.
Linear narratives break down. So do the systems that used to hold them in place. Across journalism, hyperpop, and exhibition-making, this conversation looks at how storytelling adapts, becoming tactical, fragmented, and responsive.

If Cities Don’t Build Culture, Who Will?
With Alexandru Chira, Mihaela Păun, Suzana Vasilescu
What responsibility does a city hold in shaping its cultural life?
Between public infrastructure and independent initiative, the lines are increasingly blurred. Institutions, curators, galleries, and platforms operate in overlap, negotiating how culture is produced, supported, and sustained.
A conversation on how cultural ecosystems are built at city level, through policy, initiative, and long-term vision.
