Culture Kicks Back is a national one-day conference about culture, innovation and grassroot culture in Denmark. The theme of the year is "how to making a living in the cultural sector?"
Culture Kicks Back is a one-day knowledge festival about the future work-life in the cultural sector. We give the microphone to new voices and innovative project in the cultural sector and encourage a conversation with the cultural establishment.
Culture Kicks Back 2025 is located in Odense where we invite the cultural sector to a conversation about work life, creativity and innovation in the cultural sector.
Together, we explore the potentials and challenges for the next generation in the Danish cultural sector, while also diving into current cases from across the country — and not least into Odense’s creative oases.
