#MeToo in Culture: From call-outs to structural change
When it comes to #MeToo in the Culture sector, IETM and our SHIFT project partners believe it is high time to shift the focus from unique cases to macro-structures, from individual experiences to collective ones. Through research and case studies, the final publication of our joint SHIFT work on Gender & Power Relations puts forward solution-oriented strategies for combating sexual harassment and power abuse in the arts, and for creating equitable and safe professional environments for art workers.
Supporting Relevance: Ideas and strategies for inclusive, fair and flexible arts funding
Amidst the crisis, simply “more money” for the arts is no longer enough. Our publication Supporting Relevance unpacks the notions of inclusive, fair and flexible funding, describes the tensions that may occur when designing such funding programmes and schemes, and brings inspiration from a few case studies. It also offers a set of recommendations for funders on how to support the arts in the most relevant way.
The New International in the Performing Arts (NIPA)
The New International in the Performing Arts (NIPA): Bridging local and global is the fruit of IETM’s 2022-2024 Creative Europe Network project. Using a translocal approach, NIPA will offer more opportunities and space for members and professionals from the global performing arts sector to learn about each others’ local challenges and approaches to global issues through reflecting, learning and concrete actions.
