About this Event
Independent cultural and media players are facing growing threats in a situation that feels like a “permanent crisis” in Europe and beyond. In a hyper-concentrated competitive economic system, it can be difficult to confront industry giants or authoritarian regimes. Confronted with these challenges, a strategy of massive cooperation is held up as the only possible response for independent cultural and media structures. The time has come to learn to build bridges between the cultural and media spheres, and the one of working in the general interest, i.e. the public sector–broadcasting service, universities, and local authorities. This dynamic has been part of ENCC’s activities for the past 2 years. With the “Closing the Gap” project, ENCC has been advocating for transformative cooperation between cultural centres and their local authorities. For this new episode of the Reset! Live Podcast series, the Reset! network joins forces with ENCC to try and reinforce this endeavour, and to generalise it to all cultural and media players. Working hand in hand with local authorities is our chosen path to defend cultural and media independence while having a real balance of power facing threatening forces.
