ItemShared Leadership and the Evolution of Festivals: What Can Be Learned?(Oxford University Press, 2023)Arts leadership can have various meanings and associations, both in the context of arts practice as well as in the challenges of running an arts organization. This chapter focuses on the leadership of arts festivals. The two common models of leadership within arts festivals are individuals and duos (where one member of the duo is the general manager/executive director and the other is the artistic director). When it is an individual leader, the festival’s organization is usually built around their skills and needs. In the duo model, either organizational leadership is shared between the role of executive leader and artistic leader, who both report to the board, or one is given the overall role of organizational leader. Recently, though, in arts festivals this duo model has evolved into more complex collaborative leadership approaches. This chapter explores two such examples: Rising, where three individuals share the CEO role, and Next Wave, which has created an eight-person artistic directorate.

ItemSurrealismos del hemisferio sur: estéticas incómodas, periferia y vanguardia. Una reevaluación de La Mandrágora (Chile, 1938) y Angry Penguins (Australia, 1940)(Poliedro Editorial, 2024)Israel Holas, en «Surrealismos del hemisferio sur: estéticas incómodas, periferia y vanguardia. Una reevaluación de La Mandrágora (Chile, 1938) y Angry Penguins (Australia, 1940)», propone un abordaje comparativo de dos grupos surrealistas que han sido marginados y duramente atacados por la crítica: La Mandrágora, en Chile, y los Angry Penguins (Pingüinos Rabiosos), en Australia. Adhiriéndose a la celebración bretoniana del humor negro y a la predilección surrealista por la yuxtaposición violenta y forzada, este trabajo emplea una lectura comparativa de estos dos grupos y de sus excentricidades geográficas, literarias y estilísticas.

ItemUNESCO Cultural Heritage Sites and Tourism: A paradoxical relationship(Routledge, 2020)Conservation and management of cultural heritage sites are characterised by several paradoxes, which also affect the tourism activities related to these sites. The World Monument Fund monitors damage to heritage buildings and sites. It identifies three major threats facing heritage sites: political conflict, climate change and tourism. The tourist is thus seen to be as damaging as war or rising sea levels. In the World Monument Fund’s (2018) list of the most endangered 25 monuments in the world, approximately one-third were diagnosed as being ‘in danger’, mainly from tourists.

ItemThe Arts Funding Divide: Would ‘Cultural Rights’ Produce a Fairer Approach?(Routledge, 2019-10-11)It seems that the funding of arts practice is always a contested domain, whatever political view or system is dominant. In some contexts, for example, there is no government support for the funding of arts practice, while in others there are different interpretations of what this entails. In most forms of government, several sectors of society (agriculture, mining, manufacturing and sport) receive government subsidies. In a capitalist state this is sometimes described as ‘welfare capitalism’. However, those opposed to the government funding of arts practice believe the arts should not be included in this framing because they are regarded as ‘non-essential’ (Bell and Oakley, 2015; Brabham, 2017; Brooks, 2001). Thus, in this framing the arts and cultural sector is not seen as a fundamental component of society and government support of the arts is seen as an indulgence and not a necessity.

ItemWomen and Arts Leadership(Routledge, 2018)Women are the major consumers of most arts practices, yet they are generally less visible than men in arts leadership roles. This chapter explores the issues and challenges around women in the arts and in arts leadership in different artforms. Judy b. Rosener argues that the expectations of women and men in the workplace are different because of long-term social conditioning. Exploring issues around gender and arts leadership is important because it relates to cultural, economic and social issues connected with both art and society. The invisibility of women as leaders in the arts is evidenced by who are recognized as the leaders of arts practice and the leaders of major arts institutions across the globe. Women are certainly visible as leaders of small to medium arts organizations in various artforms, but as the organizations become bigger or more important, the presence of women at the top diminishes.

ItemArts, Culture and Country(Currency House, 2022)The past two years have been a particularly dark time for the arts in Australia. Not only are we living through a pandemic, but the federal government has shown little interest in—or understanding of—the plight of the sector and its artists. The pandemic comes on the back of seven years of continuous erosion of public assistance to the arts at the national level, with more than ninety arts organisations defunded, while funding to individual artists has been significantly reduced. Many are struggling to survive in the face of repeated lockdowns and border closures to control the pandemic. For years the arts sector has provided evidence of its economic benefits, as well as its intrinsic value to society. Yet politicians remain impervious to these arguments. Increasingly, it is ideology rather than evidence that determines government policy. In other words, support for the arts is not primarily a question of economics. It is a question of values. The pandemic has made people realise the seminal importance of the arts and culture to our national well-being, but politicians do not see them as a central part of policymaking. Arts and culture are intertwined. We need to change how we view the relationship between the two within the political framework. This monograph presents some ideas on how to do it.
