UNESCO will hold the second ResiliArt debate in partnership with the International Federation of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity on the 14th May, 14:00-16:00 (Central European Summer Time).
UNESCO launched the ResiliArt movement in April 2020 as a global movement that consists of a series of virtual debates with key industry professionals and artists - both renown and emerging - that raises awareness of the far-reaching impact of the current containment measures on the cultural sector. This debate will be structured around four key themes: the constraints faced by cultural professionals, creators and artists in resuming their activities and the measures put in place to support them; the adoption of measures and policies to support and promote the diversity of cultural expressions, particularly in the digital environment; new international relations and modalities of cultural cooperation; and the sustainability of new forms of creation and of the expression of cultural diversity.
The debate will be moderated by UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Culture, Ernesto Ottone. Participants will include Anitta (singer, songwriter and actress), Ferne Downey (actress and President of the International Federation of Actors), Cheick Oumar Sissoko (film director and Secretary-General of the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers), Pascal Rogard (Director General of the Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers), Fouzia Saeed (Director General of the National Arts Council of Pakistan), Mohamed Saif Al-Afkham (President of the International Theatre Institute), and Jana Vozarova (CEO of LITA, Society of authors).
