Relocating Artists at Risk in Latin America (Summary Document)

Abstract

This brief summarises key findings and recommendations of a report that maps existing temporary relocation pro­grammes for artists and cultural work­ers based in Latin American countries. The report investigates the prerequis­ites for partnerships between arts insti­tutions and human rights organisations as a means to better protect artists at risk and to promote artistic freedom. The human rights and the arts sectors approach these aims from their differ­ent perspectives, with different termi­nology and different focuses. The study calls upon these two sectors to develop synergies in their strategies to better meet the needs of artists at risk in Latin American regional contexts in all their diversity.
