Call for participation – Research Project “Room for Critical Voices”
Artists are vital to open debate, critical thinking, and societal progress. Around the world, however, this democratic role is increasingly under pressure — for example through intimidation, interference, and censorship. To address this, the Federal Institute for Human Rights (FIRM) is examining the challenges artists in Belgium face across disciplines, as well as their experience of artistic freedom. The findings will inform concrete policy recommendations.
