The European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are two of the worldâs most significant regional entities. In todayâs episode, we explore the cultural cooperation between the two. Why was it so modest in the past and why is it crucial to enhance their cultural ties at the multilateral level? Interdisciplinary cultural historian and anthropologist Dr. David OcĂłn and Prof. LluĂs Bonet, an expert on cultural economics, cultural policies and arts management, give insights into these and other questions â based on their recent study âEnhancing ASEAN-EU Relations through Cultural Cooperation: Realities and Unexplored Potentialâ published by ifaâs âCulture and Foreign Policyâ research programme.

In 2022, Jina Mahsa Amini died in police custody after having been arrested because her headscarf was too loose. A wave of protest began in Iran - the protest cry echoed through the cities: âZan, zendegi, azadi.â âWoman, life, freedom.â
Although the protests might have quieted down in the media, the precarious situation has not changed. What is the current situation in Iran, especially for women? Is there any hope for the people seeking freedom in Iran? And how does the Western world view the protests? Iranian-born Sanam Naraghi Anderlini answers these and other questions. She is founder and CEO of the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN). Through ICAN she spearheads the Womenâs Alliance for Security Leadership (WASL) comprising independent women-led organizations active in 40 countries globally, preventing violence and promoting peace, rights and pluralism.

Time and again, artists are forced to leave their home countries. They are fleeing restrictions on freedom of expression, censorship and threats to their livelihoods. Many find protection in Germany, a country that offers support programmes for artists at risk. But what needs should these programmes meet? How can we support artists sustainably and how can diaspora communities contribute with their expertise?
In this episode of Die Kulturmittler:innen Deep Dive, Dr Lisa Bogerts and Serap Yılmaz-Dreger share their latest research findings from their study âLearning from the diaspora: Shaping new beginnings in art and culture sustainably and collaborativelyâ, which is published as part of the ifa research programme âCulture and Foreign Policyâ.

2024 ist ein Superwahljahr. Ăber die HĂ€lfte der Weltbevölkerung ist zur Stimmenabgabe aufgerufen. In Deutschland stehen die Europawahlen und zum Teil Landtags- und Kommunalwahlen an. Die letzten Jahre und Wahlen haben gezeigt, dass es verschiedene MĂ€chte gibt, die versuchen, auf die WĂ€hlerschaft durch Desinformationskampagnen und Propaganda Einfluss zu nehmen.
Wie solche Angriffe auf die Demokratie aussehen, welche Player dabei sehr aktiv sind und wie wir die Demokratie und Wahlen vor solchen Einflussnahmen schĂŒtzen können, darĂŒber redet Amira El Ahl mit Dr. Stefan Meister. Er ist Leiter des Zentrums fĂŒr Ordnung und Governance in Osteuropa, Russland und Zentralasien der DGAP und war unter anderem mehrfach als Wahlbeobachter fĂŒr die OSZE und die EU unterwegs.

âKunst gibt nicht das Sichtbare wieder, sondern Kunst macht sichtbarâ â Paul Klee
Sichtbarkeit in der Kunst ist ein Thema, das in den letzten Jahren an Fahrt aufgenommen hat. Es bilden sich immer mehr globale Plattformen, um Kunst aus aller Welt kuratieren und reprĂ€sentieren zu können. Diese Plattformen â sogenannte Biennalen â mĂŒssen allerdings auch in einen politischen Rahmen eingebettet werden. Doch welche Förderungen gibt es fĂŒr internationalen Kunstaustausch? Welcher Kooperationen bedarf es fĂŒr Biennalen? Und welche Chancen entwickeln sich dadurch?Melanie Vietmeier â Kuratorin am MĂŒnchner Lenbachhaus und Autorin der Studie âBiennalen als Seismograph â Geopolitische Faktoren, Förderstrategien und Potenziale internationaler Kollaborationâ â erzĂ€hlt.

Unrecognised states and ethnic minorities are often overlooked, even though people in power repeatedly emphasize the importance of listening to unrepresented groups and indigenous people.
In this episode of âDie Kulturmittler:innen,â our host Amira El Ahl talks to MercĂš Monje Cano, Secretary General of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO). She explains how important the voices of indigenous groups are and why unrepresented groups need to be given more attention, especially in the fight against climate change. Her organisation is working on changing this injustice by educating, campaigning and representing unrecognised states such as Tibet, indigenous peoples such as the Mapuche in Chile and minorities such as the Haratin in Mauritania.

In the wake of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, a multi-layered migration pattern has emerged. Armenia and Georgia, nestled in the heart of the South Caucasus, have become havens for Russian and Ukrainian migrants. The influx of these new players in the cultural scene has set off a seismic ripple across the region.
Who are these cultural actors? What stories do they bring with them? How have their artistic foot-prints transformed the local cultural canvas? Tigran Amiryan, founder and president of the Cultural and Social Narratives Laboratory, joins us today. As a semiologist and contemporary culture researcher, he unravels the threads of transformational processes in Armenia and Georgia.

Two years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine. At 5 a.m., sirens were wailing across the country and explosions were heard everywhere. Since then, a group of over 30 NGOs has come together to document and collect the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during this war to bring them to court. In this episode âDie Kulturmittler:innenâ we talked to Nadia Volkova. The lawyer is the director of the Ukrainian Legal Advisory Group and part of the Ukraine 5 AM Coalition. She explained the work of the coalition, the support from the civilian population and Germany’s responsibility towards Ukraine.

China’s Rise as a global economic powerhouse is one of the most consequential events of our time. This meteoric ascent challenges the existing world order, and in response, China has strategically harnessed its cultural diplomacy to bolster its influence worldwide. In this episode of âDie Kulturmitter:innen â Deep Diveâ we speak with Ximena Zapata, a specialist in China-Latin America relations and international cooperation in Latin America. She just published a study about Chinaâs cultural diplomacy and its way to achieve its ambitious objective of consensual hegemony.

Artists and cultural institutions often cross borders by challenging conventional, religious, social, and political norms. As a result, they are under intense scrutiny, subjects to repression and even attacked by other parts of civil society. What measures are in place to ensure the protection of these artists? And how can international cultural relations contribute to safeguarding artistic freedom? This is the subject of the research project by Sara Whyatt and Ole Reitov, both experts for the UNESCO on this topic and todayâs guests in this episode of Die Kulturmitter:innen - Deep Dive.
Their study will be published next year. To explore other recent research studies on artistic freedom and temporary relocation programmes for artists at risk, visit: https://bit.ly/mri-studien

Myanmar seemed to be on a well-paved road to democracy, after political reforms had been initiated in 2011 and the first free elections had been held after 25 years in 2015. The military coup in 2021 ended it abruptly. Ever since, a civil war has been simmering, in which thousands have been arrested and killed. Among those arrested was the democratically elected leader of the country, Aung San Suu Kyi. She started out as one of the revolutionary icons in the democratic protests in 1988, known as the 8888 protests. In 1991, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but was later on heavily criticized for her stance on the Rohingya genocide in 2017.
Our guest, Ma Thida â surgeon, author, and human rights activist â joined the prodemocratic movement behind Suu Kyi. In 1993, she was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison for her political engagement and support of Suu Kyis party. After six years, she was released due to her health conditions and international pressure. In this episode of âDie Kulturmittler:innenâ, Ma Thida talks about the role of icons in revolutions and literature as a tool for freedom and protest while giving us an insight on recent developments in her country.

While the art of curating was once led by museums, its role has been transformed over the years. A curator nowadays wears many hats: They are curators, producers, mediators â working across fields and disciplines, across borders and mediums, and across physical and virtual spaces. The freelance curator and architect Paula Nascimento is part of this ever-changing process. Having participated in interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, the Angolan curator has a unique perspective on her profession that she shares with us in this episode.
Nascimento explains the many layers of curating and how she herself has experienced it in collaborative and interdisciplinary projects. In this episode, we also take a look at the role of international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennial, where Nascimento co-curated the Angolan pavilion in 2013. It was the first and only time, an African country received the golden lion for its national representation. And finally, she gives us an insight into virtual art spaces, with ifaâs digital exhibition âARE YOU FOR REAL â Phase 1â that she curated together with various artists and curators.

Colonial legacies continue to shape international cooperation and climate policy. While actors in the climate debates seem to be aware of that, the question remains: what is specifically being done about it? In this episode researchers Marina Caetano and Pedro Affonso Ivo Franco talk about their study âAnalysing Decolonial Climate Perspectives: The Case of the Brazilian Legal Amazon Regionâ and explain their position that a decolonial perspective needs to be central to the global response to climate change.

DĂŒrre, Ăberflutungen und FlĂ€chenbrĂ€nde. Wir sehen die Auswirkungen der Klimakrise fast tĂ€glich in den Nachrichten. WorĂŒber bisher aber kaum berichtet wird: wie diese Katastrophen unser materielles und immaterielles Kulturerbe beschĂ€digen oder sogar gĂ€nzlich zerstören.Deshalb sprechen wir in dieser Folge von âDie Kulturmittler:innenâ mit Johanna Leissner. Sie arbeitet fĂŒr das Fraunhofer-EU-BĂŒro in BrĂŒssel und forscht seit ĂŒber 20 Jahren zum Erhalt des kulturellen Erbes, wobei ihr Schwerpunkt auf den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels liegt.Im Interview erzĂ€hlt sie, wie sehr die Klimakrise weltweit KulturstĂ€tten bedroht, inwiefern auch immaterielle KulturgĂŒter davon betroffen sind, und welche LösungsansĂ€tze und Strategien existieren, um Kulturerbe zu schĂŒtzen.
