Cultural Diplomacy

Cultural Diplomacy Picture
Following the recent public diplomacy review, now seems like a good time to revisit what we mean by cultural diplomacy and the ways in which culture helps to deliver Britain’s foreign, developmental, and sustainability objectives. This project asks what this means for cultural institutions and whether they could play a role in fostering public debate and engagement. It also set out a new and practical framework for policy makers and practitioners in the UK and beyond.

An article on Newsnight the other day discussed the role of art as providing a space for conversation between cultures.  You can see it here.

Specifically, it talks about the Venice Biennale.  This year, the director, Robert Storr has set out both to include countries who have never exhibited before and to provide a showcase for Islamic art.
