Freedom of artistic expression for artists, cultural institutions, and organisations in Europe is increasingly under pressure from political parties, as well as from anti-democratic political and social movements.
Threats and violations of basic artistic- and cultural rights remain largely overlooked and are only documented and monitored by a few Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) with limited resources.
In response to these urgent concerns, and initiated by ECSA and Freemuse, On the Move has signed a joint call for The Fundamental Rights Agency, FRA, as well as National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) to engage and allocate resources to systematically incorporate documentation of artistic freedom violations in their work, reports and advocacy.
