Episode Synopsis

Culture Action Europe’s podcast Frequencies and Michael Culture Association’s Eucropolis present a four-part collaboration exploring the current discourse and practice around cultural rights in our communities across Europe. The series focuses on the four focus areas of the 2022 conference Culturopolis, co-organized by the Culture Institute of Barcelona and Culture Action Europe, which brought together researchers, cultural workers, artists and policymakers to exchange ideas and work around cultural rights.This episode focuses on Participation and Communities. Who is being left out of the experience of culture? What is the cultural sector doing to improve the situation? We asked these and other crucial questions to the people from across the sector who are looking critically at the various conditions that affect the right to participate in the city’s cultural life, as well as the various forms of cultural participation. Special guests:Alexandra Xanthaki, UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rightsGaia Raisoni from IED Istituto Europeo di Design S.p.A. – Società BenefitLuca Bergamo, Cultural professional, former Vice-Mayor and deputy Mayor for Cultural Development of RomeMaud Ntonga (MCA) and Ines Martorell (Dedale) from the MEMEX projectMusic Credits:Intro: Funk Saviour - KetsaIntermediary: HoliznaCC0 - Ramen, Johnny Ripper - Typing, Daniel Birch - Birds Eye View, Daniel Birch - Memories in Color, Daniel Birch - Vast PossibilitiesOutro: Can’t Stop We - KetsaEpisode produced and hosted by:Marco Fiore, Michael Culture AssociationMaya Weisinger, Culture Action Europe
