Camaradas, rejubilai. Não estais sózinhos. O comunicado da Haus der Kulturen der Welt desta semana:
The Federal Foreign Office, which with the State Minister at the Federal Chancellery for Culture and Media provides the basic funds for programs at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, has resolved to reduce our regular funding by 20 percent. This will mean a loss of €250,000 for our 2011 program - and the forced cancellation of one of our festivals. The intended cutbacks come at very short notice. Because many contracts have already been concluded for projects over the next several years, our credibility as a contractual partner is threatened. Secure basic program funding is a precondition for attracting additional funds for specific projects. Should the announced measures go forward, not only will the €250,000 be lost, but potentially also special program funding.
This poses an unacceptable shortfall. We need every euro for the productions and projects that we promote. The Haus der Kulturen der Welt is neither a venue for prefabricated programs nor a mere station for touring events. Original cultural events are produced and important debates initiated here. Our strength in creating innovative programs is directly endangered by the cutback planned by the Foreign Office.
We are engaged in talks to find a solution to this problem. We will keep you informed as the situation develops.
