Young Cultural Innovators from Memphis, Detroit, and New Orleans were brought together for the second US Regional Fellows Event of the Salzburg Global Forum for Young Cultural Innovators (YCI Forum). This meeting, supported by the Kresge Foundation, took place from April 7 to 9, 2018.
In total, 27 YCIs from both the third (2016) and fourth (2017) Salzburg programs of the YCI Forum gathered in the Contemporary Arts Centre, New Orleans, which hosted the meeting. Led by YCI Forum facilitators Amina Dickerson, Peter Jenkinson and Shelagh Wright, the two-day program focused on strengthening the network, through a series of discussions, workshops, site visits and interactive exercises. The workshop’s theme was “Moving from Me to We,” exploring further what it means to be a YCI Hub and what YCIs want to accomplish as a community of Fellows in their cities and local communities.
