SUMMARY:Side Events on Cultural Rights – MONDIACULT 2025
DESCRIPTION:DescriptionProgramDescription\n\n\nPAU CASALS UNESCO CHAIR\nProtection of artists at risk and Cultural Rights\nThe Pau Casals UNESCO Chair is participating in MONDIACULT 2025 with the side event “Protection of Artists at risk and Cultural Rights”. Throughout his career as a musician\, Pau Casals advocated for peace\, international understanding\, and the role of the United Nations. His legacy is grounded in a commitment to the struggle for peace through music and culture. \nDespite the existence of an international legal framework for protection\, society continues to witness violations and vulnerabilities manifested in cultural destruction. These acts have mobilized global awareness of the need for effective protection of artists\, creators\, performers\, and other cultural agents who are forced to leave their countries due to the impossibility of exercising their rights. Various international and local organizations\, as well as some cities\, have supported this protection through civil society initiatives in different forms of hosting and solidarity. \nThe aim of this conference is to raise awareness of the effects of war and conflict on the cultural life of populations\, and to reflect on United Nations guidelines regarding the intentional destruction of heritage and the impacts of armed conflict. This meeting\, bringing together cultural and social actors\, seeks to promote solidarity with artists\, performers\, creators\, and others who are forced to leave their countries or cities due to war or conflict\, and to present experiences of reception\, refuge\, and support. \nThe conference will include presentations on initiatives currently being developed in Barcelona\, as well as research on the legacy of Pau Casals in this field. All of this is framed within the implementation and practical application of cultural rights. \nWith the collaboration of: \n\n\n\nGABEIRAS FOUNDATION\nCulture as a Global Public Good as a Guarantee of Cultural Rights\nThe Gabeiras Foundation is an organization established in 2016 dedicated to research\, dissemination\, and advocacy in the field of cultural rights. Within its lines of work\, at the beginning of 2023 the Foundation launched a multidisciplinary working group to address the current debate on “culture as a basic good”. \nIn recent years\, several concepts have emerged in public discourse that define culture in different ways\, such as “a basic and essential good” (Law 14/2021 of 11 October)\, “a global public good” (MONDIACULT\, Mexico 2022)\, and “an essential public good and global public good” (Spanish EU Presidency\, Cáceres 2023). The aim of the working group is to provide a solid conceptual framework for this debate\, enabling its proper development and implementation. The work seeks to support legislative and regulatory transformation so that culture is understood as an essential good to be protected\, and cultural participation as a right to be fully guaranteed. \nThe conference will present the work carried out by the group to date\, as well as contributions from key cultural actors from Latin America. The aim is to contrast different approaches addressing key questions such as what we mean when we refer to culture as a basic good\, what distinguishes the various concepts\, and what future this new theoretical framework outlines. \nConference held in Catalan and Spanish. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\nProtection of artists at risk and Cultural Rights\n16.45-17.00 h Accreditation \n17-17.10 h Opening and introduction\nWith contributions from:\n– Manel Jiménez\, Vice-Rector for Alliances\, Community and Culture at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).\n– Jordi Pardo\, Director General of the Pau Casals Foundation.\n– Roger Dedeu\, President of the Gabeiras Foundation. \n17.10-17.30 h “The evolution of international mechanisms for the protection of musicians at risk.
