Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 2:00 – 4:00 pm (CET)

Europäisches Haus, Unter den Linden 78, 10117 Berlin (On-site only, no live stream)

How can legal and institutional frameworks be established to better protect artistic freedom and the independence of cultural institutions against the backdrop of democratic setbacks, political polarisation, and growing pressure on the cultural sector?

This panel discussion explores the dangers of political interference in the cultural sector. The panellists will place current cultural political developments within a European context, identify possible legal and political courses of action, and present and jointly discuss the European Artistic Freedom Act as a potential European solution.

Registration is required via this form until Tuesday, 22 September, 4 pm.
