With under two months for the 10th World Summit on Arts and Culture, together with Arts Council Korea (ARKO) we are delighted to launch the 10th World Summit Discussion Paper: Charting the future of arts and culture. This Discussion Paper sets out to provoke critical reflection on these ideas and issues that affect culture and the cultural and creative sector, ranging from the exciting and daunting aspects of technology and AI, and their anthropophagic
nature; to how we gather, exchange ideas, and participate; and the types of agency we need to ensure a future with diverse narratives and worldviews.
The Discussion Paper bring together 10 thought leaders from around the world who were invited to share their perspectives on these issues and consider actions that governments and people could and should take, presented through nine essays by: Ms Paula Carr and Mr Haniko Te Kurapa (Aotearoa New Zealand); Mr Lars Ebert (Belgium); Ms Sarah Abdu Bushra (Ethiopia); Prof Dr Nishant Shah (India); Ms Marcela Flores Méndez (Mexico); Mr Mauricio Delfin (Peru); Ms Marichu G. Tellano (the Philippines); Dr Zune Lee (Republic of Korea), Dr Jazmín Alejandra Beirak Ulanosky (Spain).
These authors bring diverse perspectives and lived experiences from across the arts and cultural ecology, working in public institutions, academia, or civil society organisations, and as Indigenous and cultural leaders, artists and cultural workers. They also speak to a range of contextual realities – both cultural and geographic – that will be vital as we chart this future collectively. The nine essays in the Discussion Paper are notable as standalone pieces, yet collectively they demonstrate shared local and global concerns that will spark thought and discussion when we come together in Seoul in May 2025.
The nine essays highlight key challenges facing the arts and cultural sector and offer insights for shaping a resilient future. To futureproof the sector, we must actively engage as stakeholders, fostering collective action to uphold human values in the face of GenAI and machine learning. Cultural rights should guide inclusive frameworks that challenge systemic inequalities, while participatory systems must be critically assessed to build trust and ensure meaningful engagement. Amid rising polarisation, safeguarding self-governance and storytelling is essential, alongside creating spaces for education, intergenerational knowledge exchange, and dialogue. Strengthening cooperation between governments, the private sector and individuals is crucial for sustaining diverse cultural ecosystems, as is embracing local perspectives, care-based approaches and ethical
digital practices to ensure a thriving cultural future.
We hope this Discussion Paper will spark conversations on the future we want and need, before and during the Summit. We trust the Summit will provide a stimulating setting in which to tackle complex issues, collectively debate, and co-create a roadmap that can futureproof and inform policy for culture, at the local, national and global levels.
The Discussion Paper is available to download in English and will be available in Korean and Spanish in the coming weeks.

A menos de dos meses del inicio de la 10ª Cumbre Mundial de las Artes y la Cultura, junto al Consejo de las Artes de Corea (ARKO), nos entusiasma anunciar la publicación del Documento de discusión de la 10ª Cumbre Mundial de las Artes y la Cultura. Este Documento de discusión quiere provocar la reflexión crítica sobre las ideas y cuestiones que afectan al sector cultural y creativo, y que van de los aspectos interesantes y problemáticos de la
tecnología y la inteligencia artificial y su naturaleza antropofágica, a cómo documentamos, intercambiamos ideas y participamos, así como los tipos de agencia que necesitamos para que el futuro cuente con narrativas y cosmovisiones diversas.
El Documento de discusión reúne a diez líderes(as) de pensamiento de todo el mundo, a quienes invitamos a compartir sus perspectivas sobre estas cuestiones y evaluar las acciones que las personas y los gobiernos podrían y deberían adoptar en nueve ensayos a cargo de Paula Carr y Haniko Te Kurapa (Aotearoa Nueva Zelanda); Lars Ebert (Bélgica); Sarah Abdu Bushra (Etiopía); Nishant Shah (India); Marcela Flores Méndez (México); Mauricio Delfín (Perú); Marichu G. Tellano (Filipinas); Zune Lee (República de Corea), y Jazmín Alejandra Beirak Ulanosky (España).
Estos(as) autores(as) aportan sus diversas perspectivas y experiencias en la ecología de las artes y la cultura, y trabajan en instituciones públicas, el ámbito universitario y las organizaciones de la sociedad civil en el liderazgo indígena y cultural, o como artistas o profesionales de la cultura. También hablan desde distintos contextos culturales y geográficos, lo que es fundamental en el empeño de trazar el futuro colectivamente. Los nueve ensayos en el Documento de discusión son excelentes lecturas independientes, y su lectura conjunta muestra preocupaciones comunes a nivel local e internacional que estimularán las conversaciones cuando nos reunamos en Seúl en mayo de 2025.
Los nueve ensayos destacan los principales desafíos para el sector artístico y cultural y ofrecen pistas para configurar un futuro resiliente. Para consolidar el sector en el futuro, debemos participar activamente como agentes, promoviendo la acción colectiva para respaldar los valores humanos frente a la IA generativa y el aprendizaje automático. Los derechos culturales deberían guiar marcos inclusivos que cuestionen las desigualdades sistémicas, mientras que los sistemas participativos deben ser evaluados críticamente para ser fiables y garantizar una participación relevante. Frente al auge de la polarización, es esencial salvaguardar la auto-gobernanza y la narrativa además de crear espacios para la educación, el intercambio intergeneracional de conocimientos, y el diálogo. Reforzar la cooperación entre gobiernos, el sector privado y las personas es
crucial para mantener ecosistemas culturales diversos, como lo es también integrar las perspectivas locales, los enfoques basados en el cuidado y las prácticas digitales éticas para garantizar un futuro floreciente para la cultura.
Esperamos que este Documento de discusión provoque las conversaciones sobre el futuro que queremos durante la Cumbre. La Cumbre ofrecerá un marco inspirador para abordar cuestiones complejas, debatir colectivamente y cocrear una hoja de ruta como una sólida base empírica para las políticas para la cultura al nivel local, nacional e internacional.
El Documento de discusión puede descargarse en inglés, y estará disponible en español y coreano en las próximas semanas.
