Rising threats to artistic freedom.

 

The Re|Shaping Policies for Creativity report highlights growing concerns over artistic freedom and the safety of creators:

• Only 61% of countries maintain independent monitoring bodies for artistic freedom.
• Political instability, conflict and displacement place cultural professionals at heightened risk, yet only 37% of countries report initiatives to protect them.
• Support mechanisms for artists at risk remain fragmented and under-resourced, while digital surveillance and algorithmic bias pose new challenges.
