[Header Image: Copyright Marcus Leith, Tate Photography] Zamyn is a Farsi word meaning 'ground'.

Cultural Forum 2013: Global Citizenship is a major series of free public lectures and debates taking place at Tate Modern, London, ahead of the G8 summit in June. We are an independent analysis and communications organisation. Founded and based in London with a global perspective, Zamyn creates opportunities for constructive dialogue between leading figures from diverse fields and with seemingly divergent interests.

Zamyn’s inaugural Cultural Forum, in partnership with Accenture, Africa Progress Panel, Barclays, Penguin Books, SOAS (University of London) and Tate will be held at Tate Modern, London, in the lead up to the G8 Summit – from the 29th May to the 13th June 2013. Leading thinkers from disparate worlds of politics, business, academia and the arts will be brought together for a series of lectures and panel discussions to explore new perspectives on global citizenship. Much of the programme takes up questions arising from the exponential growth in movement across international borders – of people, capital, resources and artefacts – and the challenges and opportunities it presents for cultural, academic and other national and international institutions. Where discussion addresses broader geopolitical issues, including the effectiveness and legitimacy of the G8, it will be grounded in the example of Southern Africa, and South Africa in particular. An analysis of the rapidly transforming country amid global shifts in power and alliances will provide a provocative and timely starting point for debate over the future of global governance. Through a collision of outlooks, the events will question the validity of concepts such as global order, development and the foreigner, and examine perceptions and aspirations that herald the world to come.
