Artists and cultural institutions often cross borders by challenging conventional, religious, social, and political norms. As a result, they are under intense scrutiny, subjects to repression and even attacked by other parts of civil society. What measures are in place to ensure the protection of these artists? And how can international cultural relations contribute to safeguarding artistic freedom? This is the subject of the research project by Sara Whyatt and Ole Reitov, both experts for the UNESCO on this topic and today’s guests in this episode of Die Kulturmitter:innen - Deep Dive.

Their study will be published next year. To explore other recent research studies on artistic freedom and temporary relocation programmes for artists at risk, visit: https://bit.ly/mri-studien
