![]() After all, populist leaders have a proven track record of undermining democracy, and there is every reason to believe they will do even more damage if reelected.įor example, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has used the immediate aftermath of unfair elections - when the opposition and civil society were utterly demoralized - to ram through controversial policies and engage in culture-war provocations. Opposition parties that unite to remove a particular leader or party - especially “a populist strongman” - must place that imperative above their other programmatic commitments. But such unity, while necessary, is not sufficient for success in fact, the hardest part comes after the decision to unite. When an authoritarian populist regime is rigging the democratic game, it is common sense that opposition parties must combine forces to stand any chance of winning elections. This month, the so-called Table of Six converged on Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the social democratic and secularist Republican People’s Party (CHP), after having sidelined younger, more charismatic contenders such as the CHP mayor of Istanbul, who had recaptured the city from Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party in 2019. We would love to meet Salzburg Global Seminar Fellows and future Fellows.Following a year of halting negotiations, six of Turkey’s opposition parties have finally united behind a single presidential candidate in the election this May, with the hope of ending Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly autocratic and repressive two-decade rule. Will you be in Stockholm? Let us know! I will be there with Paula Ferreira Martins and Nancy R. Thank you International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA), Kulturrådet - Swedish Arts Council, Anupama Sekhar and Magdalena Moreno Mujica. ![]() Salzburg Global Seminar is proud to be a partner of the Summit. Threats to artistic freedom in the digital environment come from a variety of state and non-state actors. For many artists creating counter strategies to these hyper-polarised forces comes with myriad risks, whether through censorship, persecution, or grappling with the policing of art online. Globally, culture wars are making the political personal, and fuelling hatred and division. Political polarisation, threats to multicultural democracies, and digital manipulation of information are putting artists, cultural rights, and issues of freedom of expression on the front line. The goal is to discuss how we can better stimulate and maintain free and diverse spaces for creation, dissemination, and access to cultural life in the digital environment.Īrtists worldwide face increasingly complex challenges and threats. This long table session, will be moderated by me and will share perspectives from Fellows of Salzburg Global Seminar: Ayodele Ganiu, Anasuya Sengupta, Kira Denis Xonorika Rojas, who will explore the intersections of contemporary art, activism, politics, research, and technology. I'm so excited to share the detail of our Salzburg Global Seminar Long Table session at International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) World Summit on Arts and Culture taking place in Stockholm from 2 to 5 May.
