Lunchtime Session | A campaign on the state of art and disability in Europe
🦋 This edition of the Culture Action Europe Lunchtime Session is open to the public.
In March, the European Arts and Disability Cluster (ADICLUS) launched a Position Paper and advocacy campaign: “How the European Union can and must act to reduce discrimination against artists, cultural workers and audiences with disabilities”.
- What are the risks of incorporating Arts & Disability discourse into programmes of Art & Wellbeing, or discourses of Working Conditions for artists?
- Where are the voices of cultural workers with disabilities within mainstream European cultural networks and stakeholder groups?
- What opportunities are there for the new Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport, and for new European parliamentarians to make positive change?
- What are the concrete opportunities for the current and future Creative Europe programmes, and how can the EU be a policy leader in Europe on disability justice and artistic innovation?
- How are these recommendations relevant to individual institutions and networks, and to national policymakers?
These questions and more were presented in the position paper and will be further explored in this Lunchtime Session.
Join us on Thursday, 22 May, at 13.00-14.00 CET to explore how to participate and act to reduce the discrimination against disabled people in the art sector.
