Future Culture Edinburgh report

Future Culture Edinburgh was a hybrid event devised by Morvern Cunningham and Vikki Jones to inspire creative thinking and collective action towards a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable creative sector in Edinburgh. It was broadcast from Leith Theatre in Edinburgh on 1 September 2021.

This report documents the event and discusses its research findings. Participants and speakers identified core interlinked themes of equity, access, diversity and sustainability and explored how to tackle inequalities and move towards positive and long-term change in Edinburgh’s cultural workforce and programmes.

The event was funded by the Edinburgh Futures Institute, with additional support from the Edinburgh Centre for Data Culture and Society, and PhD research assistant funding from Creative Informatics
