Kulturstiftung des Bundes

The digital publication “Creating Together” by the German Federal Cultural Foundation is a collection of conversations, essays and artistic works written by around 20 participants of the TURN2 Labs in Nairobi, Dakar and Tunis (2022–2023). It asks how we want to work and live together in the future. The contributions take a critical look at archiving strategies, alternative social and economic models and the role of art and culture in transformation processes.

The 360° – Fund for New City Cultures by the German Federal Cultural Foundation supports cultural institutions in integrating cultural diversity issues into their organisations and in reducing exclusionary structural practices in the cultural sector. The “Diversity Compass” presents the participants’ experience and most effective measures and provides this aggregated expertise for the benefit of the cultural sector at large.

Ben Evans, former Head of Arts and Disability at the British Council, gave a keynote speech at the public panel discussion “How inclusive can theatre be?” at the Münchner Kammerspiele in January 2024. In his speech, he made the case for a more inclusive theatre that not only creates access, but also artistic and structural equality.

In a nationwide pilot project, the German Federal Cultural Foundation supported 19 cultural institutions in various artistic fields to measure their CO2 emissions and determine their carbon footprint. The calculations, progress reports, recommendations and work materials have been documented and are now available as a free PDF brochure.
