Amsterdam Art Week Talks presents two round-table discussions, each focusing on different current topics in contemporary art: Women & Tech and Collecting & Diversity.

Program

At the first round table, we will discuss the opportunities surrounding tech in the art world. We will approach this from the perspective of the maker and of the art institute. We also invite Equals, formerly known as We-Rise, an organisation that supports equality and diversity in tech in Amsterdam, to join the conversation. Here we will discuss what the contemporary art sector can learn from their knowledge and perspective surrounding diversity in tech.

In the second round table discussion, we will explore how art institutions, galleries and private collectors can actively address diversity in their collection and exhibition policies, as well as how the different players in the field of contemporary art can contribute to a more inclusive representation of artists on a whole.
