International Society labels large groups of individuals Society for the through a single lens – oversimplifying ISPA Performing Arts by race, gender, religion, economic status or sexual orientation. The arts have an opportunity to reject the need to stereotype and create a broader cultural understanding.

There has been an unprecedented shift of place for many of the world’s peoples in the past five years. How are communities accepting these new residents and how are some political powers rejecting them? As a traditional tool of advocacy and diplomacy what role will the arts play in this ongoing debate?

January 10–12, 2017

CURRENTS OF NEW YORK CONGRESS New tools present opportunities to enhance dialogue, interactivity and under- standing. CHANGE ARTS, POWER+POLITICS In a society where many cultures and art forms come together, is the traditional approach to artistic curation still valid? Many festivals, art venues and public spaces are relying on the individual artist to self-program.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF ISPA

Dear Colleagues, urrents of Change—indeed! Arts, Power & Politics—ingredients for a potent stew, now on full boil all across the globe. When the theme for this congress was set early last year, many of us could not imagine the world as it is today. C Borders seem meaningless; yet nationalism is on the rise. Contrasts and conflicts stand on equal ground. Differences divide us and still we strive for diversity in all its forms. Confusion and upheaval is having its heyday in every corner of the globe. WELCOME So where does that leave us? Are the arts a mirror of what is happening around us or are we to be vital participants in world issues? Is it enough to want to share artistic work with our communities or must we consider how artistic experiences will shape our communities? And at the end of the day, how do our actions (or inactions) impact each other, our work and the future? REIMAGINING, the theme of our outstanding Melbourne Congress last May, kicked open the doors to this deeper dive on issues that are increasingly pressing with each passing day. Our issues are urgent. Our time is chaotic. Yet history tells us that it is from chaos and turmoil that beauty and transcendence rises. For almost as long as human history, art has been the expressive tool for communicating humanity’s triumphs and pains. It is a time for us to reflect on ideals even more than solutions. A time to remind ourselves of the important role art has played for centuries, and with confidence, decide for ourselves how each of us will move forward. To have such a gifted and committed network of arts colleagues around the world to rely on during this extraordinary time is an incredible resource. I am grateful to face each day’s issues and challenges knowing that our ISPA family is there to support each other. It is even more encouraging to know that ISPA is actively committed to engaging us all in a timely strategic plan to help map our future. I welcome you all to reflect, connect and share. Our time together is invaluable. May I suggest that this year we make an even greater effort to support each other in this journey, not just during this Congress, but throughout the year?

Dear Colleagues, ver a year ago, our title Currents of Change: Arts, Power and Politics, reflected our desire to cast a candid and conscientious eye on the politics and power dynamics in the arts. In a turbulent world where too many voices go unheard or unheeded, how do we make sure that we are not part of the problem in order to be part of the solution? Events in the last twelve Omonths have become spectacularly dramatic and we are looking at a world that seems tossed into free fall and landing who knows where. Our perspective is forced to change in unexpected ways as we witness shifting governments, and global alliances; populations on the move for every reason from climate change to escalating war zones and communities divided over what a good society should look like. It could not be a more critical time for the arts and culture to play a strategic and dynamic role to counter the negative aspects of what is happening. We need to be a catalyst for positive change in the world. But in order to do this we need to also examine our own habits, assumptions and privileges. How do we become more empowered partners and players at the table and how do we ensure that the table includes everyone? In this Congress, we hope through discussion and interaction to take a look into past practices in order to shape new and future behaviors that arts leaders and organizations can respond to. We are co-hosting this Congress to make sure that we talk openly, speak of the times that we live in and share our dilemmas about how to make our professional practice and experience matter in times of great uncertainty. Hopefully, this will be a time for all of us to come together, build mutual stamina and share what inspires us, what frightens us and what we're determined to do next. We also want to thank the New York Planning Committee who brought so much of their expertise and fresh perspective to the table as well as David Baile and the ISPA staff for their support in realizing ISPA’s 99th Congress!

Welcome to the 2017 Congress!

Dear Colleagues, n writing to you today, I want to pause for reflection on the tumultuous year that has affected every region of the globe but also savor the year of celebration we have ahead. In 2017, ISPA acknowledges ten years of its Fellowship Program and the $1 million US that has been invested in 234 Fellowships since inception! No I less significant is the fact that our upcoming convening in Montréal will be ISPA’s 100th congress - how many have you attended? As we planned this congress we witnessed and reflected on a number of significant events in 2016. The conversations were stimulating, reflective, learned, and informative, resulting in what you will experience over the next three days. I want to thank our esteemed Co-Chairs Alicia Adams and Jude Kelly for their inspiration and leadership and the entire planning committee for their invaluable participation. To the donors, patrons, sponsors, and our funding partners who have made ten years of Fellowships possible, thank you. And to our many committee members, board members and volunteers who facilitate the work undertaken by a very small office in a very big world, thank you. Partnerships are integral to the work ISPA assumes every day! And finally, to our members, thank you. There is no doubt that ISPA, and every organization for that matter, is going through seismic readjustments. Demographics are changing rapidly, governance models are under close scrutiny and we as an organization are examining our mission and our priorities. I encourage you to provide us with input and feedback regarding ISPA’s strategic direction and initiatives because after all, ISPA is all about the people. Thank you for investing your time and resources to be with us in New York and please join us in celebrating 2017!

Sincerely, David Baile Chief Executive Officer

17 TANYA TAGAQ ANYA TAGAQ ’s music is like nothing you’ve heard before. The Arctic-born artist is an Timprovisational performer, avant-garde composer and experimental recording artist who won the 2014 Polaris Music Prize for an album called Animism, a work that disrupted the music world in Canada and beyond with its powerfully original vision. Tagaq contorts elements of punk, metal, and electronica into a complex and contemporary sound that begins in breath, a communal and fundamental phenomenon. While 2014’s Polaris Music Prize win signalled an awakening to Tanya Tagaq’s art and messages, she has been touring and collaborating with an elite international circle of artists for over a decade. Tagaq’s improvisational approach lends itself to collaboration across genres, and recent projects have pulled her in vastly different directions, from contributing guest vocals to a recent F**ked Up song (a hardcore punk band from Toronto) to premiering a new composition made for Kronos Quartet’s Fifty for the Future collection. Tanya Tagaq’s music and performances challenge static ideas of genre and culture, and contend with themes of environmentalism, human rights and post-colonial issues. In repeated interviews, Tagaq has stressed the importance of considering her work in the context of contemporary – not traditional – art. This statement is not just about sound, although her music is decidedly modern and technically intricate, but about deep-rooted assumptions about indigenous culture in general.

veryone has a slightly different recollection of how ISPA’s Fellowship Program came to fruition. One version credits a discussion in a bar at the congress in Mexico City in E 2004. Many reference a unique auction held in New York in 2005 where board members sang, danced and played to raise funds for a new program. Whatever the version to which you subscribe, the reality is that many people were involved in realizing the first fellowships awarded in 2007. That first year, 6 fellowships were awarded valued at $7,350. The Fellowship Program was seen as instrumental to strengthening the arts through the ideal of building leadership ability internationally. The fellowships were conceived as an opportunity to provide intensive immersion in ISPA, its programs and its community. The rationale was to leverage the leadership inherent in the ISPA membership as teachers and mentors and guide the next generation of arts leaders. Successful applicants received membership, registration to the Congress and a partial travel subsidy to facilitate travel from the point of origin to New York. What we didn’t appreciate was how much the fellows would bring to ISPA! We were all rewarded with fresh perspectives, unbridled enthusiasm and expertise that we had not necessarily tapped before. While the primary purpose of the Fellowship program is to develop the next generation of arts leaders we have also found it to be a highly effective cultural diplomacy program. Participants return to their region with a greater knowledge of the global arts community and share that knowledge with their colleagues. Furthermore the program actively demonstrates TEN YEARS OF

FELLOWSHIPS! the importance of collaboration and cooperation. Over the past ten years the Fellowship Program has grown in both its scope and scale.
