Resilience and the City: Art, Education, Urbanism

The 15th ELIA Biennial Conference, Resilience and the City: Art, Education, Urbanism, was hosted by the Willem de Kooning Academy and Codarts University of the Arts from 21 to 24 November 2018. Taking place in Rotterdam, a city experiencing rapid developments and challenges on a social, political, economic, and environmental level, the conference explored four wide-ranging and intersecting themes: Shifting Centres, Shifting Margins; Art and Social Cohesion; Art and Economy; and Art and Innovation. Each theme provided a framework to examine how the arts can potentially play a vital role in building resilience, especially in urban contexts.
