This area tackles the diversity of identities included in cultural rights (gender, sex, ethnicity, language, origin, background, etc.) and the difficulties that may be encountered with regard to freely experiencing this diversity. There is a need to tackle the insufficient presence and visibility of diversities in cultural expressions and practices, as well as in participation and the decision-making capacity inherent in the design of cultural policies.

    Sonifying the Sector | Sweden

    Today we will be listening to a sound diary from three different cultural organisations based in Malmö and Lund in Sweden. The sound diary aims to “sonify” the daily operations of the people and organisations who make out the local culture sector there. It is an initiative from the European cultural network Trans Europe Halles in Lund, as a part of Culture Action Europe's project Amplify: make the future of Europe yours. In the podcast, you will hear three sound pieces in a row - three diary entries - from Stpln , a culture incubator and coworking space in Malmö; from NGBG, a hyper-local culture association and festival in Malmö; and from Krognoshuset, a member-driven art gallery in Lund. The recordings were collected on days in April 2022. If you have the possibility, we recommend that you listen with headphones in a quiet space. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far. Each episode features the work, voices, and experiences of artists and cultural workers across Europe and beyond. “Frequencies”, a production of Culture Action Europe, lives at the intersection of culture and politics by focusing on the power cultural practices and agents have in nurturing inclusive, open, diverse, fair and democratic societies. The Amplify Sweden hub will be part of the upcoming event #AmplifyinAction, a day full of debates, conversations, presentations, cultural and artistic programs and actions to put culture centerstage. We’ll see you on Europe Day, the 9th of May 2022, on our livestream at europeday.eu. Follow the hashtag #AmplifyinAction and find the full program on the Culture Action Europe website.

    Rhythms of Memory | London // Syria

    In this episode, we spotlight Qisetna, a digital platform seeking to preserve the cultural heritage of communities affected by conflict and displacement. Qisetna was founded in London in 2013 in response to the conflict in Syria. The organisation originally sought to reframe the narrative of those being displaced through the practice of sharing stories. The organisation encouraged Syrians of all backgrounds and denominations to capture their memories, producing a rich archive of different stories. Today we get a glimpse into how Qisetna uses storytelling in its many forms in order to protect cultural heritage.  I spoke with Sarah Barker, who volunteers her time to write articles and manage Qisetna’s digital content. Qisetna acts as a platform for outreach, advocacy, community involvement and research. This means that they actively contribute to collaborations such as the UNESCO Unite4Heritage project and have also produced their own storytelling workshops. Throughout this episode, you hear music from Maya Youssef, Dima Orsho, The Nefes School and Nawa Band.  Qisetna has also written a contribution for “Amplify: Make the Future of Europe Yours,” Culture Action Europe’s project that brings underrepresented voices within the cultural sector to  EU decision-makers. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far.

    Versed in Democracy | Ljubljana, Slovenia

    Today we talk with Anja Zag Golob, a fierce voice in a movement to protect cultural and democratic rights in Slovenia. Anja is often described as a rising star of European poetry, winning awards such as the Jenko Poetry Prize for best Slovene Poetry Collection and the 2020 Kritiško sito award for best Slovene book. Anja also participated in the Culture Action Europe project, “Amplify: Make the Future of Europe Yours,” collaborating with fellow artists and cultural workers to demand more for the cultural sector in Slovenia and across Europe. Ahead of the upcoming national elections in Slovenia this Sunday [24 April, 2022], Anja reflects on how the Slovenian arts and cultural sector has been impacted in the previous two years and the work that lies ahead for both artists and politicians. "The changes will not magically happen. People will come to power. Whoever is elected...This is something we need to envision as we start to rebuild the country...It’s not just a problem of culture, but about how to reapproach change." Another one of Anja’s key focuses is the publishing house, VigeVageKnjige. With Anja as the co-founder and editor-in-chief, the publishing house focuses on raising awareness about graphic novels in Slovenia. She says it’s important to deal with the prejudice that the graphic novel genre faces in the literary world. Under the coordination of the organisation Motovila, Anja participated, alongside other cultural agents in Slovenia, in the Amplify project. You can read their contribution to the Conference on the Future of Europe here. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far.

    Visualising the Economy | The Netherlands

    Today we explore the work of Ben Maier, an artist and a photography student at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague, Netherlands. In the autumn of 2021, under the coordination of the organisations Creative Court in the Hague, Het Geluid in Maastricht and H401 in Amsterdam, Ben was selected to take part in a pan-European project, “Amplify: Make the Future of Europe Yours,” as a participant representing the Netherlands. Amplify, a project led by Culture Action Europe and co-funded by the European Parliament, aims at gathering the ideas and concerns of underrepresented voices within the cultural sector to take into the fold of EU-level decision making. Partnering with organisations across 12 European countries, Amplify asked participants to bring ideas, proposals, recommendations, and concerns about the vision of culture for the Future of Europe. Alongside 10 other student artists, Ben proposed his art project focusing on the gig economy, an issue that he is interested in from an economic perspective, but also has a personal stake in the matter, as he is currently a delivery rider for UberEats and Deliveroo. Mostly Ben’s work is focusing on the aftermath of neoliberalism. As he has a background in economics, as an artist he calls himself a “visual economist” and works around themes that clash with ethical values in our society. Rabiaâ Benlahbib is the founder and director of Creative Court, an organisation that works at the interface of arts and global justice based in the Hague. Rabiaa made a pitch about the project to the  Bachelor of photography class and 5 students’ proposals, including Ben’s, were selected. The exhibition featuring Ben’s work along with 10 other artists will open on Europe Day, the 9th of May 2022 at the closing event for the Amplify project. You can find out how to tune into the Amplify live stream to see the full, digital exhibition on the Culture Action Europe website. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far.

    A Joyful Solidarity | Spain

    This week we tap into the mind and heart of Rocío Nogales Muriel, the director of EMES International Research Network. As a sociologist specialising in culture, social innovation and social enterprise, she guides us through the vision and actions of a network in Spain that is creating social transformation in communities through artistic and cultural exploration, experimentation and collaboration. REACC, Red de Espacios y Agentes de Cultura Comunitaria (Network of Spaces and Agents of Community Culture), is an open assembly for dialogue and support between artists, community organisers, and cultural organisations. The members who make up the REACC network unite to safeguard community projects and try to provide answers to the endemic problems of the cultural sector. Much of their collective work as a network focuses on precarity in the cultural sector, addressing issues such as restrictions on mobility, job insecurity and lack of political commitment to arts and culture. From early on REACC understood that in order for the power of civil society to emerge, the work has to take place in local, community-shared places. So after two years of online meetings and work, members of REACC were finally able to assemble together in Toledo in February of 2022. Find out more about REACC’s work, as well as the English translation of Rocío and Begoña’s poem on the Culture Action Europe website. There you can also read the contribution that REACC, alongside other cultural agents in Spain, submitted to the Conference on the Future of Europe through Culture Action Europe’s project, “Amplify: Make the Future of Europe Yours” under the coordination of Interarts. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far.

    Threading Identity | Antwerp, Belgium

    In this episode, we head to the Flemish region of Belgium and focus on a community centre in the heart of Merksem, a multicultural district of the city of Antwerp. Merksemdok Community Centre serves as a meeting point for people in the neighbourhood to participate in programs such as community theatre, Dutch language practice groups and a number of cultural and artistic programs for children. In December 2020, the centre held the “Stay Yourself” Fashion show and exhibition, an event culminating 2 months of work during which 10 young people created their own collection focusing on fashion & identity. The fashion show gave the pre-teens, all girls between the ages of 10 and 13, the centre stage to present their self-designed and handmade creations to a live audience comprised of their families, friends and other community members. In a flurry of purple and pink lights and accompanied by the beats of their handpicked songs, the girls took their turns striding down the runway, presenting their garments that not only aimed to show off their newly acquired textile skills but also tell stories of their heritage and experience growing up in their neighbourhood. We hear from Koen Pyls, Fadime Tezerdi and Laura Vargas about their experiences overseeing the workshops. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far.

    The Poetry of Politics | Rome, Italy

    In this first episode of the series, we visit Italy to explore the recent work of visual artist, Iginio De Luca. For many years De Luca has focused his work on the production of videos, photographic images, and sounds that activate public spaces with bold, satirical actions that aim to interrupt everyday life in order to hold a mirror to the absurdities of current politics. It is largely due to this interplay between political awareness and poetic sensibility that ECCOM decided to reach out to him for his involvement in the project, “Amplify: Make the Future of Europe Yours.” Over the course of nine times, De Luca led participants, on foot, up one of the 15 towers that visually characterize and dominate the Tor Bella Monaca neighbourhood in Rome, Italy. The final work, which is presented in video format, expresses the progressive fatigue, hardships, hopes and disappointments, local politics, Europe and private lives of those living in the neighbourhood. We also speak with Cristina Da Milano from the organisation ECCOM about how she envisions the role of artists, such as Iginio de Luca, in institutional decision-making at the European level. “Frequencies” is a podcast that explores arts and cultural initiatives that seek to impact and transform communities, near and far.
