Overview
Through shortfall guarantees and project-specific contributions, SüdKulturFonds supports productions and events featuring artists from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe (non-EU countries). The aim of the fund's support activities is to facilitate access to the Swiss cultural market and to professional networks for artists from the southern and eastern countries of the world and particularly from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation partner countries.
Details
SüdKulturFonds is financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC and administrated by artlink, cultural cooperation. Only projects which take place in Switzerland are eligible for support.
The backdrop to the funds' support is the UNESCO Convention on the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions, which commits state parties to facilitate market access for artists from developing countries. The convention with its 146 signatory states, together with several other UN resolutions, stresses art and culture as being a mainspring in sustainable development.
