Vol 7 No 2 (2020): Failures in Cultural Participation


This special issue of Conjunctions is edited by Leila Jancovich and 
David Stevenson. It explores how cultural participation policies, 
projects, and practices could be improved through recognising the 
pervasiveness of past failures. The issue thereby attempts to challenge 
existing narratives of unqualified success by offering alternative 
narratives that consider failure from different perspectives and at 
different points in the design and implementation of cultural 
participation policies and projects. In doing so it highlights the 
extent to which success and failure coexist and the richness of insight 
that comes from considering both. This matters because it is only such 
open and honest critical reflection that has the potential to facilitate 
the social learning needed for those who can exert the most power in the 
cultural sector to acknowledge the extent of the structural change 
required for cultural participation to be supported more equitably.
