Ongoing violence: the armed conflict that silences artists and cultural leaders in the Cauca region
Read
The exercise of freedom of artistic expression in Latin America continues to have a high cost for those who dare to defend it in flawed democracies and, even higher costs, in authoritarian contexts. For CADAL, cultural manifestations function as a thermometer of the democratic health of our countries.
We promote initiatives aimed at supporting artists at risk and informing about the state of artistic freedom in Latin America. >>
We organize events in which artists, managers and leaders of civil society exchange ideas and proposals in defense of artistic freedom in Latin America. >>
We pronounce ourselves publicly through petitions to governments and international organizations, press releases and opinion columns. >>
A podcast produced entirely by CADAL, focused on the uprooting of Latin American artists, managers and creators. These are stories that tell, in first person, what it means to be forced to indefinitely leave the country of origin, for reasons of political harassment and censorship.
