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.

Taiwan usually appears in Western media because of the simmering conflict with mainland China or its global dominance in the semiconductor industry. The entrepreneur and podcaster Emily Y. Wu lets us in on other issues that are moving the Taiwanese people today beyond these two topics. In this episode, she gives an insight into her work and her country â one of only three âfull democraciesâ in Asia.
Wu explains how metal music and politics fit together, what tensions still remain between the various ethnic groups in Taiwan and how she lives with the constant threat of a Chinese invasion.
Furthermore, the ifa magazine KULTURAUSTAUSCH has dedicated its current issue II/2023 to Taiwan. In doing so, it also sheds light on topics beyond the current news situation and offers other perspectives on the island state in the West Pacific.

Although Ukraine is one of the largest countries in the centre of Europe, the country has been in the shadow of international attention for over 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Russian invasion has changed that. The Ukraine Institute tries to bring Ukrainian culture and history closer to foreign countries.
Our guest today, Alim Aliev, is Deputy Director of the Ukraine Institute. In this episode of die Kulturmittler, he tells us about the strategies Russia is using to try to bind Crimea closer to itself and what this means for the Crimean Tatars. He himself belongs to the Crimean Tatar minority and does research on this ethnic group.
We also learn how the Ukraine Institute works against Russian propaganda and how it tries to preserve and spread Ukrainian culture and history.

Derzeit sind ĂŒber 13.000 Sanktionen gegen Russland in Kraft, einige davon seit der Krimannexion 2014. Die ukrainische Journalistin Emiliia Dieniezhna ist fĂŒr die Independent Anti-Corruption Commission (NAKO), eine zivilgesellschaftliche NGO, tĂ€tig. Dort untersucht sie, wie die Sanktionen der EU, der USA und anderer westlicher Staaten von der russischen RĂŒstungsindustrie umgangen werden und erlĂ€utert im Podcast, was HaushaltsgerĂ€te wie KĂŒhlschrĂ€nke und Waschmaschinen damit zu tun haben.
Neben den SchwĂ€chen der Sanktionspakete gegen Russland, spricht die Ukrainerin in dieser Kulturmittler-Episode auch ĂŒber die KorruptionsbekĂ€mpfung innerhalb der Ukraine und erklĂ€rt, weshalb es neben vier Anti-KorruptionsĂ€mtern noch eine zivilgesellschaftliche NGO dafĂŒr benötigt.

Als Russland vor einem Jahr die Ukraine ĂŒberfiel, war es möglich in Echtzeit das VorrĂŒcken der russischen Truppen, Raketenangriffe oder ukrainische Proteste in den sozialen Medien zu verfolgen. Die New York Times sprach vom âersten TikTok Kriegâ.
In dieser Folge âDie Kulturmittlerâ erklĂ€rt der Autor und Psychologe Christian Stöcker, inwiefern sich die Kriegsberichterstattung durch die sozialen Medien verĂ€ndert hat. Jeder Mensch kann mit einem Smartphone unmittelbar Nachrichten in die Welt senden und durch TikTok, Twitter und Co. die klassischen Gatekeeper wie Nachrichtenredaktionen und deren Filter umgehen. AuĂerdem analysiert Christian Stöcker, die Kommunikationsstrategie des ukrainischen PrĂ€sidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj in den sozialen Netzwerken.

Im Angriffskrieg Russlands zeigt sich die ukrainische Zivilgesellschaft resilient, stark und handlungsfĂ€hig. Vor einem Jahr sprachen wir bereits mit der Sozialwissenschaftlerin Susann Worschech ĂŒber die Rolle der ukrainischen Zivilgesellschaft im Krieg und die TragfĂ€higkeit der internationalen SolidaritĂ€t. In dieser Folge âDer Kulturmittlerâ erfahren wir, wie sich die Gesellschaft unter dem Druck des Krieges entwickelt hat. Anders als die russische Regierung vielleicht erwartet hatte, erklĂ€rt Worschech, sei die ukrainische Zivilgesellschaft kein passives Objekt der Politik. Stattdessen sei sie geleitet von einer starken kollektiven Idee des Widerstandes und der SolidaritĂ€t - auch im Exil. Im Interview blickt sie zudem kritisch auf die zögerliche westeuropĂ€ische Haltung und plĂ€diert dafĂŒr, die Stimmen der Ost- und MitteleuropĂ€er:innen stĂ€rker in das politische Handeln Europas zu integrieren.
