The Shock of the New: Arts, Technology & Making Sense of the Future (2018)

As a Fellow of the Salzburg Global Seminar, Kiley Arroyo participated in The Shock of the New — an international convening of artists, technologists, and cultural leaders examining the intersection of art, technology, and human futures.

The session explored urgent questions:
What will it mean to be human in 2050 or 2100?
How will emerging technologies shape power, identity, and planetary life?
Who determines the ethical frameworks guiding these transformations?

The gathering emphasized the role of the arts in humanizing technological change and expanding collective imagination in the face of accelerating disruption.

Program Curator: The Creative Power of the Arts — Reimagining Human & Planetary Flourishing (2021)

In the wake of the compounding crises of 2020, Kiley served as Program Curator for a multi-session international workshop series exploring how global society might build back greener, healthier, more justly, and more intelligently.

Through four workshops with international colleagues, the series examined how decolonization, cultural wisdom, and creative practice can inform systemic recovery and planetary stewardship.

Insights from these convenings shaped the development of a strategic roadmap guiding the future direction of Salzburg Global’s Arts & Society program — positioning it to engage more deeply with ecological regeneration, intercultural collaboration, and structural transformation.

Program Facilitator: Philanthropy — From Crisis to Transformation (2020)

Kiley also served as Program Facilitator for Salzburg Global’s multi-year philanthropy series, supporting dialogue among global funders navigating the shift from reactive crisis response toward transformative, systems-oriented practice.

Salzburg Global engagements reflect CSC’s broader commitment to working across borders and disciplines — integrating artistic imagination, technological foresight, and strategic design to cultivate more just and life-affirming futures.
