Culture Lab 5: The New Experience Economies

Please join us for Arts Lancashire's next Culture Lab session which takes place online on Tuesday 18th November 11:00am-12:30pm when we'll be exploring The New Experience Economies: Recognising global cultural consumption patterns on our doorstep.

We'll be joined by Lara Ratnaraja and Helga Henry, two Cultural consultants based in Birmingham who were recently commissioned by the West Midlands Combined Authority initially to consider the context of low cultural engagement and a correlation in the lack of diversity in the creative workforce in Birmingham.

Their collection of considerations - called “The Song Remains the Same” - ended up opening up a discourse on what trends, behaviours and consumption patterns of people living and working in Birmingham were not being recognised. What their work drew out were some significant insights into place-based trends around socialising, community, identity, agile and global business models and health and well-being - all driven by experience economies underpinned by both diverse and global populations and communities.

• What is re-defining community or fuelling new economies?
• What is the impact of consumer behaviour in the “new” experience economy?
• Which metrics are missing and what does that lead to?
• How does identity and economy intersect?
