Deep Dive – Lisa Bogerts and Serap Yilmaz-Dreger on Cultural Work in the Diaspora

Time and again, artists are forced to leave their home countries. They are fleeing restrictions on freedom of expression, censorship and threats to their livelihoods. Many find protection in Germany, a country that offers support programmes for artists at risk. But what needs should these programmes meet? How can we support artists sustainably and how can diaspora communities contribute with their expertise?

In this episode of Die Kulturmittler:innen Deep Dive, Dr Lisa Bogerts and Serap Yılmaz-Dreger share their latest research findings from their study „Learning from the diaspora: Shaping new beginnings in art and culture sustainably and collaboratively“, which is published as part of the ifa research programme „Culture and Foreign Policy“.
