#StopHatredNow 2026 – Accountability & care

""

What role and responsibility does art play in a cultural transition? How do different choices shape our lived reality—what do the representations seen on stage, the curatorial choices made in museums and other institutions, or the direction of cultural policy reveal about our times? To whom do power, freedom, and responsibility in the art world fall?

As polarization deepens, funding shrinks, and discourses on representation and equity intensify, #StopHatredNow turns the spotlight on power, accountability, and care. The keynote lectures, panel discussions, and workshops organized during the event week will delve into these topics from different perspectives, including leadership, curation, accessibility, and inclusion. There will also be concrete advice and tools presented that will benefit both larger institutions and individual artists alike.

The entire event week program is free of charge and can be enjoyed from anywhere in the world, as the majority of the program will be streamed live.
