CfP: Inclusion of immigrants in the cultural policy mainstream
One major problem faced by immigrants and their descendants when entering the arts in their host countries has been the marginalisation of their artistic works. Only since the late 1990s there has been a change in cultural policies towards the inclusion of migrants into the artistic mainstream. However, some major cultural institutions initiated more inclusionary programmes even before state and city governments changed their policies. The new trend towards the inclusion of migrants in the cultural and artistic mainstream will be central to the workshop "Inclusion of immigrants in the cultural policy mainstream".
GRITIM, the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Immigration at the Department of political and social sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), and IMISCOE, the Standing Committee on Popular Art, Diversity and Cultural Policies in Post-Migration Urban Settings (POPADIVCIT), seek paper proposals that intend to analyse this change from several perspectives:
- Mobilisation of migrants for inclusion
- Initiatives of cultural institutions to stimulate inclusion
- Municipal, regional and state policies facilitating inclusion
The organizers are particularly interested in how far such inclusionary programmes change the understanding of art and culture in the respective context. Contributions could focus on one particular context or one particular artistic field and analyse the changes from all three perspectives described above. They are also interested in contributions taking up one particular initiative and analysing it in more detail.

The standing committee has limited funding for travel to and accommodation in Barcelona. Applications should include a short statement whether the applicant will need such funds and an estimate of the amount needed.
Workshop date: 21 st, September, 2015
Place: Barcelona.
Academic Coordinators: Marco Martiniello (CEDEM, Liège), Wiebke Sievers (ISR, Vienna), Ricard Zapata-Barrero (GRITIM-UPF, Barcelona)
The Standing Committee POPADIVCIT was founded in 2010 and has over the past four years continued to bring together researchers in a variety of forums to discuss and collaborate. This work has seen the organisation and successful completion of nine workshops and led to several publications. In 2014 the committee held two workshops: one entitled Immigration and cultural policy: debating new research trends in post-migration studies held at the Council of European Studies Conference in Washington in March and one entitled The direct and indirect consequences of the economic crisis on immigrant and ethnic minorities' arts and culture held at the IMISCOE annual conference in Madrid. This current Workshop seeks to open a research line on how immigrants are incorporated into mainstream cultural policies.
