In episode #35 of the Culture of Possibility podcast, Arlene Goldbard engages in conversation with Judith Marcuse, based in British Columbia, Canada. Marcuse, a stalwart of imagination, production, and advocacy for over four decades, has spearheaded numerous projects including large-scale multi-arts festivals, extensive collaborative endeavors with youth, nationwide studies on community engaged art for social change, national mentorship initiatives, and the establishment of a national network. Their discussion touches upon Marcuse’s body of work, her extensive perspective on community-based cultural initiatives in Canada, the financial challenges facing the sector, as well as the potential future obstacles and opportunities.
