The Utopian Manifesto 1.0 and 2.0. outlines actions, strategies, goals and even structural changes that need to be made to achieve a cultural sector without discrimination, racism, and gender inequality.
Two polyphonic Manifestos that gathers voice of more than 200 cultural practitioners from Burkina Faso, China, France, Morocco, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Norway, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, The United Arab Emirates, Uganda, US, Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Colombia, Palestine, among others.
Note: The participants and signatories do not necessarily support all the items of the Manifesto. They might support one, several or the entire document. What is shared by all the participants is the urge for action towards a more inclusive and balanced cultural sector.
