Mød Asta på Kulturmødet på Mors

Hvad betyder de digitale og sociale medier for udbredelse og omsætning af kunsten? Hvordan får talentet plads på et kunstmarked præget af konkurrence og vanetænkning? Hvad kan vi lære af udlandet og de danskere, der bor der? Hvornår er kunsten national, og hvornår er den international? Vi kender til copyright, men findes ”copyleft” som udtryk for en ny finansiering af den skabende kunst? Vi diskuterer disse udfordringer og finder løsninger på dem.
Moderator: Clement Kjersgaard
