Mapping Self-Organization in the Arts
editSummary of the case study and link
editPart of the research project "OffOffOf. Swiss Cultural Policy and Self-Organization in the Arts since 1980" (SNF 2014 - 2019) is a database on self-organised art initiatives in Switzerland. The database contains archival material and photographs of self-organised art initiatives as well as documents from policy makers. A selection of the database is publicly accessible via an online mapping that allows for temporal and geographical visualisation of the information. The materials from self-organised art initiatives are mainly from private archives and the documents from policy makers are publicly available.
