Freemuse, København:
Danida strategi forbigår kunstneres ytringsfrihed

Ny menneskerettighedsstrategi har hverken referencer til UNESCO eller truslen mod kunstnernes ytringsfrihed

Danidas udkast til strategi for demokrati og menneskerettigheder i udviklingssamarbejdet har mange gode intentioner, men overser desværre den meget tætte sammenhæng mellem kunst, ytringsfrihed og menneskerettigheder.Defor har Freemuse sendt et høringssvar til Danida, hvor ministeriet opfordres til at opprioritere såvel støtten til kunstnerisk ytringsfrihed samt kulturel mangfoldighed.

Lyt: DANIDA mangler forståelse for kulturel forskelligartethed
