Working Group on Artistic Freedom
This Working Group is Joint with network Trans Europe Halles.
Reset! and Trans Europe Halles have been collaborating for several years, as both networks bringing together and supporting independent cultural and media organisations. Supporting artistic autonomy, freedom of expression, and cultural independence is therefore a pillar and advocacy priority for both networks. For this reason, in 2026, we decided to launch a joint Working Group to explore these issues more deeply collectively.
This Working Group is connected to ongoing exchanges within the Reset! network, Trans Europe Halles, their members, and partners. It also links to the policy brief on artistic freedom, coordinated by Reset! and developed as part of Culture Action Europe’s Towards the Culture Compass: A Sector Blueprint. Through the Working Group, members continue shaping these discussions together by grounding them in their own practices, experiences, and challenges related to artistic freedom, and by contributing collectively to future advocacy and policy processes.
