Folk och Kultur is a cultural policy convention that pays tribute to Sweden’s art and cultural scene. On February 10-12, you can partake in three days filled with festivities, fun and celebrate the richness of Sweden’s cultural industries.
Folk och Kultur believes in the vitality of culture and aims to promote an accessible and vibrant cultural life throughout Sweden. At the same time, Folk och Kultur acts as a meeting place for broad cultural discourse in all areas of politics. By inviting local, regional, and national politicians into a scene of cultural life, cultural policy, and cultural associations, Folk och Kultur opens up an intersectional dialogue with the cultural and creative industries in focus.
This year’s program can be found here (in Swedish) and is divided into six categories:
At xPlot, we truly believe in the core value of Folk and Kultur: that culture and the arts are important for all of us, no matter our position in society. As such, we are happy to support and partake in an event like this.
On February 10, 10:30 – 10:50 AM, xPlot’s Lars Mattiasson, Tomas Ahlström from East Sweden Game, and Swedish Designer Johanna Forsman, will discuss the importance of intersectional culture in the panel discussion:
Moderated by Martin Q. Larsson from Subtopia, focus will be on cross-collaboration, co-entrepreneurship, co-learning, and innovation mobility. Not to be missed!
