A PETITION AGAINST THE FUNDING CUTSBY THE NORDIC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

1233 signatures were gathered for this petition during 18 August-3 September 2021.Names of the signatories are included in the following pages.

STATEMENT

The Nordic Council of Ministers plans to cut funding for culture in the Nordic & Baltic region by20-25% between 2021-2024. These funding cuts are aimed at the activities of several Nordicinstitutes in the region, as well as possibly the grant programmes of both Nordic Culture Pointand the Nordic Culture Fund.

The cuts are a misguided plan especially in the current situation, where COVID-19 has upendedcultural life and related economic activities throughout the Nordic and Baltic region. It is inactuality a situation that calls for increased support for funding, as many of the nations in theNordic and Baltic region have already realised. Funding cuts in culture will not produce savings,but on the contrary, they will have adverse effects financially and in terms of the wellbeing, trustand connection between citizens in the Nordic and Baltic region.

Another crucial argument for increasing rather than decreasing the funding for culture in theNordic & Baltic region are the challenges posed by climate change. The geographic proximityand decades-long heritage of cultural collaboration gives this region enormous potential to be ahub of positive, forward-looking and sustainable cultural life. We, the artists and cultural workersin this region, are ready to respond to the mission set by the Nordic Council of Ministers to makethe Nordic & Baltic area ‘the world's most sustainable and integrated region’. We have workedwith civil society and partners from all the corners of this region, through cultural exchange,transmission of knowledge, translation of small languages and are committed to further developour work in this context. We cannot achieve this goal if the core economic resources for Nordic& Baltic collaboration with a transparent and democratic funding structure are significantlydiminished. The freedom of expression encouraged by the current system, which from a globalperspective is something unique and worth preserving, should not be taken for granted.

In the long run, several generations worth of investments in the cultural sector, the foundation ofall Nordic cooperation, are being compromised. The suggestion to cut funds, in the midst of apandemic, one year after an approximately 5% cut in Nordic funding, is not only a bad idea inthe short-term. In light of the effects on the cultural sector this last year, it could also havedevastating effects on cultural and social developments, labour conditions in the cultural sectorand the infrastructure that has taken almost a century to build up at a time when it is dearlyneeded - perhaps more than ever before.
