Committed citizens founded the Kulturzukunft Bayern initiative.
Lucky!
Because it is high time for a genuine Bavarian cultural policy.
A comment by Katja Kraft.
Now, once again, fundamentally: Art and culture are not luxuries that a society affords when it lives in prosperity – art and culture are one of the foundations of this prosperity.
A rich cultural landscape attracts the creative, the innovative, the clever.
It is therefore negligent how uninspired cultural policy is pursued in Bavaria.
The new initiative Kulturzukunft Bayern - founded by the committed citizenry - cannot be cheered loud enough.
Here, people invest their free time in developing a vision of what Bavaria's cultural landscape should look like in the future.
And how to deal with the numerous major construction sites that cultural institutions will face in the coming years.
Instead of looking at each house individually, it's high time to create an overall plan.
Bavaria-wide.
To put an end to the burning of millions of euros because of a lack of concepts - instead coordinate closures, coordinate alternative sites, exchange experiences.
Beyond classic areas of responsibility.
Why aren't the ministries of construction and art working more closely together?
It's not enough to refurbish buildings so that they continue to look the way planners imagined in the distant past.
Instead, we have to consider what a cultural center of the future needs.
What will be important in 20, 30, 40 years?
Where do you have to rethink?
Which technical new possibilities can be used?
The nice thing is: Thinking, discussing, developing like this has an incredibly invigorating effect.
To the whole city.
No luxury, duty.
