Word of the Day: forum

The word forum has appeared in 1,140 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on May 2 in “How the Arts Can Help Us Face the World’s Most Pressing Challenges” by Farah Nayeri:

These sobering statistics were cited last week at the three-day Art for Tomorrow conference, an annual event organized by the Democracy & Culture Foundation featuring panels moderated by journalists from The New York Times. This year, the event was held in Florence, Italy. Three years after the coronavirus outbreak, the gathering was a chance for arts professionals, collectors, curators and artists to take stock and to ask: Can the arts help meet the challenges that the world faces today?

… Speakers at the Florence forum seized the opportunity to highlight the enduring gender and income inequalities in the world of arts, and the actions needed to head off a climate catastrophe. Also on the agenda: a detailed discussion on the crash of the market for nonfungible tokens, or NFTs.
