Making Art, Making Politics — The Alternative

The Alternative is an international party based in Denmark with a focus on creating a new political culture - mixing art, culture, engagement and politics in a new way. And in a first, they are the political party in residence at Concordia University’s Faculty of Fine Arts in Montreal.  They are working with students on a year-long project about how the arts can influence political decision making.

In this episode Uffe Elbæk (leader of The Alternative), Indra Adnan (The Alternative – UK) and Rebecca Duclos (Dean, Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University) talk about politics, the arts, soft power and remaking political culture.  Recorded at Studio C in Montreal.
