The 1st Municipal Cultural Conference on São Paulo, taking place on June 18, 19 and 20, aims the organization of an extensive debate on proposals, codifying demands and guidelines from Public Policies to amplify and consolidate the cultural process of the city of São Paulo.
The organization of the 1 st Municipal Cultural Conference should guarantee the full participation of the whole operating agents involved in such social-cultural process of the city without overlapping or opposing other participation or representation mechanisms of already existing of the cultural, social, political or administrative dynamics of the City.
Approved demands, proposals and guidelines aim an extended whole vision pointing out to the priorities and fundamental dynamics on the consolidation of possible social and economical macro processes viability for the artistically-cultural production and preservation as well as the possibilities of access and integration of all layers of the population.
It is understood that the Public Policies to the cultural department of São Paulo cannot be developed exclusively under the intervention of public sectors (federal, regional and municipal) having to accomplish its institutional and constitutional mission. It is also necessary to have an exchange amongst other agents and institutions integrating such a cultural sector, generating work and income and keeping up dialogue with its actions and products of different public departments.
In order to guide all participants to the 1 st Municipal cultural Conference, the Municipal secretary to the Culture of São Paulo after an extended discussion with its technical personnel and with the Municipal Cultural Council, defined as the general theme for the debates The culture in São Paulo: diversity and cultural rights .
The theme initially looks for a diagnosis reflecting one of the main characteristics of the City of São Paulo: its complex cultural diversity. As a Metropolis, São Paulo shows such multiplicity not only in artistically manifestations but also in institutions, educational and research centers, means of communication, economic dynamics, presence of the cultural industry, Historical Estate as well as symbolical references of a population set up by a strong influence of migrants and immigrants from different countries.
Debate dynamics
As a general theme: “The Culture in São Paulo: diversity and cultural rights” it is intended to debate two variables: how to amplify, diverse and decentralize all production and preservation of the cultural section mechanisms as well as to perceive, recognize and amplify all citizen cultural rights.
In all encounters the debate dynamics should be guided through axes enclosing the complex general proposed theme, discussing questions referring to Cultural Management, Memory and Cultural Patrimony, Cultural Economics, Metropolis Globalization, interfaces with Educational areas and possibilities to increase access to the creation and participation of citizens.
