The Styrian art and cultural landscape is in danger. Many initiatives are threatened by acute funding cuts. The Kulturkuratorium, the central advisory body of the Styrian government, was reshuffled almost overnight. It is now made up of people with political party affiliations, some of whom have no comprehensible expertise in the fields of art and culture. Some of the representatives who assess the art and culture applications come from the extreme right-wing milieu. All of this can have incalculable negative consequences for the vibrant cultural region of Styria and the artistic diversity of our province.

That is why there will be a demonstration on 20.3. Meeting point: 18:00 Graz main station. Please come and help #kulturlandretten!

A open letter to Styrian Councillor for Culture Kornhäusl has now been signed by over 1200 Styrian cultural workers and other supporters. If you would like to add your signature, please send an email with your name and organization to kulturlandretten@gmail.com!
