Arundhati Ghosh on Looking at the present without compromising the future

Broadening the conversation about ‘Working Internationally Sustainably’: Crossed perspectives from India, Bulgaria, the UK, Iran and the Gaza Strip. This is a series of conversations between Jumana Al-Yasiri, artists and art leaders from different contexts and continents.
Kunstenpunt | Flanders Arts Institute offers this podcast series as part of our trajectory A Fair New World?! in which we explore how to shape the new reality in a fair and inclusive way. In it, we connect our work around fair practices, sustainability, digitization and inclusive work.

In this conversation, Arundhati Ghosh talks about sustainability and internationalism in India, and in the broader context of post-colonial and non-Eurocentric societies. It was an opportunity to reflect on the values of mobility in a post-pandemic world, and on the ethical and philosophical dimensions of philanthropy and funding programmes in the arts. A call for greater solidarity and better cooperation at the intersection of cultures, disciplines and struggles.
