How do we build art institutions without institutions?

*Please note that this talk will be held in Danish

How can we create sustainable communities for art outside of established institutions? How do we go about organising collectively? And what opportunities for art and social engagement emerge when care, a focus on the local, and community become the foundation of cultural production.

In this conversation, participants from AKK's institutional network come together to discuss alternative ways of organisising, including self-organisation, and think about the future of cultural infrastructure. Drawing on experiences from artist-run organisations, social communities, and activist platforms, the discussion explores both the challenges and benefits involved in developing art projects in which residents, artists, and institutions share responsibility, decision-making, and ownership.

The conversation points toward new ways of understanding the institution - not as a building, but as a community, a method, or a relationship. At the same time, it examines how spaces for art can be created without necessarily building traditional institutions.
