Diversity Across Cultural Institutions

The MeToo and Black Lives Matters movements have created an urgency for diversity across cultural institutions, with support for a more representative range of artists.

Experimental Funding Formats

The City is exploring new formats for funding culture, to ensure that a full range of art forms and diverse populations are supported. The three year Kultur Labor Zürich project is piloting new, experimental routes to allocating funding.

Increased Digitisation

Digitisation has accelerated across cultural institutions as a result of the pandemic, offering new options for artistic expression, and creating new ways of communicating with audiences.

Prioritising Climate Change Policies

Climate change will have a major effect on Zürich and is a top priority for the City across its policies.

Sustainable Support for Cultural Workers

The pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of independent cultural workers in particular. For a more sustainable support, Zürich wants to strengthen the funding of research and creative processes and advocate for the payment of reasonable fees.
