  • 10:00 - 15:00h (CET)

The Austrian Commission for UNESCO (ÖUK) and ARGE Kulturelle Vielfalt invite you to the UNESCO Talk: Rethinking cultural policies.

We will focus on questions whose public negotiation is indispensable for democratic cultural policies. Impulses from artistic, scientific and activist perspectives open up the following discussions. The starting point for the impulses is the UNESCO World Cultural Report of 2022.

How are the multiple crises changing working conditions in art and culture? How does cultural work contribute to sustainable regional development? What role do marginalised cultural actors play in the discussion about visas and residence? & what impetus does UNESCO provide in this regard?
