Talk
with Holger Bergmann, Dr. Andrea Firmenich & Daniela Schneckenburger , Between Diversity, Artistic Freedom and Social Relevance
Art Funding in Times of Austerity Politics
The state needs to save money – whether it is on a federal, a state, or a city level. It is almost unavoidable to ask: How much art do we want to be able to afford in the future? About the relevance of art in times of crisis, the securing of its independence and freedom, Holger Bergmann (Director Fonds Darstellende Künste), Dr. Andrea Firmenich (General Secretary Kunststiftung NRW), Daniela Schneckenburger (Alderwoman Deutscher Städtetag/ German Association of Cities and Towns) discuss with cultural journalist Stefan Koldehoff (Deutschlandfunk).
As part of the Alliance of International Production Houses, the production receives grants from funds provided by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
