Art as it could be

ART AS IT COULD BE is the second in a series of events created by 180, focused on “the world as it could be”. It’s about imagining and re-imagining the world if we just look at life from a different perspective.

During our session, we will hear about the importance of art for development and learning, how art and business can collaborate for mutual benefit, and how we define what art is today and tomorrow.
