In een steeds meer gepolariseerde wereld staan organisaties die zich bezighouden met culturele diplomatie voor steeds grotere uitdagingen. Hoe kunnen ze ruimte bieden aan een veelheid van perspectieven zonder dat ze worden gekaapt door politieke agenda's? Welke rol speelt cancel culture, als corrigerende kracht of als beperking van de vrije meningsuiting? En hoe kan artistieke vrijheid worden behouden terwijl diplomatieke verantwoordelijkheden worden vervuld? Een paneldiscussie in Amsterdam, met onderzoekers en cultuurmakers uit Polen, Roemenië, Frankrijk, Duitsland en Nederland.De voertaal is EngelsIn an increasingly polarised world, institutions engaged in cultural diplomacy are facing mounting challenges. While they are expected to promote diversity and foster open debate, they are also under growing pressure from digital campaigns, political interests, and shifting societal expectations.How can cultural actors create spaces that allow for a plurality of perspectives without being co-opted by political agendas? What role does cancel culture play – as a corrective force or as a constraint on free expression? And how can artistic freedom be preserved while fulfilling diplomatic responsibilities?This event invites discussion on the evolving role of cultural institutions at the intersection of international cultural policy, public discourse, and an increasingly fragmented social landscape.
