Why NEXT

The world is changing fast, and so are careers in culture. Being an academic, a museum specialist or a curator is no longer the whole map.

  • Heritage and cultural policy
  • International institutions
  • The art market
  • Digital culture
  • Creative industries

So we asked five people who have done it to come to İzmir and tell you how. Bring your questions. The day is built for conversation between students and guests.
