The Possibility of a Region
In an increasingly networked, hyperconnected world, what is the value of regional cultural ecosystems? And, in a world in which monolithic ideas of nationhood and belonging continue to have catastrophic consequences, how should arts institutions build ties and identify with their neighbors? Exploring the markers of successful partnership, the role of technology, and the impact of networks on a sense of expanded regionality, this discussion zeros into the diverse and ambiguous territory known as “Central and Eastern Europe” – and asks whether or not that can, or should, be a “thing”.
