A people powered manifesto for radical cultural democracy

« Back to programme

Cultural democracy entails a struggle for the expansion of culture, politics and democracy beyond its current limits – its aim is to overcome damaging cultural hierarchies to help realise culture for all, by all. This session will provide a forum for participation to elaborate the draft ‘manifesto for cultural democracy’ to realise cultural democracy in our time.
