kulturen in bewegung works with artists and partners to realise artistic and knowledge-based projects that reflect cultural, political and social developments from global and post-migrant perspectives, thereby providing impetus for the Austrian cultural and educational sector.

As an art and cultural initiative of the VIDC, kulturen in bewegung raises awareness of development policy issues in Austrian civil society and acts as a mediator in the local art and cultural scene to promote structural opening processes. The artistic projects refer to social and cultural dynamics and create diversity-oriented, discrimination-critical and power-sensitive spaces for action. The focus is on artistic productions and networking between artists and cultural workers from migrant, BIPoC, FLINTA* and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Participatory event formats are developed in collaboration with various art and cultural venues and contribute to a diverse cultural offering in Austria. International artistic exchange makes non-European realities and global perspectives visible and creates international networks. Programmes in the field of cultural mediation contribute to a change of perspective and to diversification processes in art and cultural institutions in Austria.

kulturen in bewegung is significantly funded by the Austrian Development Agency and is unique in its work at the intersection of art, culture and development cooperation in Austria.
