The Inter-American Development Bank will be holding a Virtual Summit on "Healing a Broken World: The Power of Art for Social Transformation in the Post-Pandemic Era" on 22 and 23 April 2021 (sessions in EDT).
This summit will bring together cultural leaders, artists, and experts for panel discussions and specially commissioned live art performances to provoke and inspire useful ways to address the concerns of the post-pandemic era. The pandemic has accentuated the health, economic, and social crises that many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean now face. Our communities in cities and rural areas must find ways to heal and to regroup as they set out to become the productive homes of citizens, workers, and neighbors. Art and culture have always contributed to envisioning human possibility, encouraging collective imagination, and creating pathways for change that touch every aspect of our societies, from the economic to the spiritual to the social to the technological.
The Summit will be comprised of three central panel discussions, one “Vision Talk,” and five specially commissioned performances by distinguished artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The event will be held in English and Spanish with simultaneous translation.
