Safeguarding Artistic Freedom

The 9th World Summit on Arts and Culture brings together leading policy makers, researchers, managers and practitioners from the arts, culture and related sectors from around the world to explore artistic freedom as a fundamental pillar of cultural policy and examine how we can – and why we should – safeguard artistic freedom.

The 9th World Summit on Arts and Culture took place on 2–5 May 2023. The morning sessions of the Summit were recorded and are available to watch online.
