Talk in der Akademie der Künste
This discussion is intended as a public forum for a fundamental debate on cultural policy. The leading candidates have been invited because cultural policy is not merely a matter for individual departments, but touches on political responsibility for the city as a whole.
The focus is on the future of Berlin’s cultural landscape, prospects for the independent scene and institutions, and fair working conditions for artists.
The event will be streamed live.

Manos Tsangaris, President of the Academy of Arts
