SUPPORTING ARTISTS THROUGH BUDGET CUTS AND POLITICAL PRESSURE

RESILIENT INSTITUTIONS

There has been a spate of bad news in Germany recently, with funding being withdrawn from initiatives and entire institutions being closed down. At the same time, right-wing parties are gaining strength, not only questioning artistic freedom but also denouncing cultural funding as a whole. Other countries in Europe are ahead of these developments; they have long had to defend themselves against attacks and work in precarious situations. In a dialogue with representatives of various European institutions, strategies and solutions will be discussed on how artists can continue to be supported in situations of financial, structural and political tension, how art can remain visible and how to defend oneself against political influence.
