Culture: The Base of Civil Society

Culture: The Base of Civil Society is a new book of the Small Run Books series, which unites two articles co-written by Pascal Gielen and Thijs Lijster, published by Culture Commons Quest Office and Valiz.

Is contemporary Europe possible without culture? What sustains a harmonious coexistence of members of the society when there are a lot of independent cultural players and stakeholders? How does the experience of contemporary art influence civic action? These are some of the questions raised by the authors of the book.
