Theatre
The theatre workshop inspires children and young people from Bremen and the surrounding area to get involved in theatre, either as participants in various workshops and projects or as spectators in selected productions.
Media
The media lab is for people who want to use digital media in an artistic and committed way. We offer film and audio workshops, support media projects and organise thematic cultural projects.
Magazine
Z-Magazine is produced by an open editorial team. We determine the topic, and the implementation as well. Previous experience is not required, but the desire to write is.
Statement by Bremen’s Independent Cultural Institutions on Freedom of Art
We are observing current developments in cultural policy with growing concern, as they extend far beyond individual cases: the exclusion of three bookstores from the German Bookstore Award, allegations against the Bremen cultural center “Kukoon,” and the announcement by Minister of State for Culture Wolfram Weimer that he intends to expand the application of the “Haber-Verfahren” and incorporate it into funding decisions.
What is emerging here is a paradigm shift: toward a creeping restriction of the freedom of artistic expression guaranteed by the Constitution, toward the erosion of minimum standards of the rule of law, toward the establishment of political litmus tests—and, not least, toward the narrowing of spaces for free public discourse, which are indispensable as the foundation of a pluralistic and vibrant democracy.
Freedom of artistic expression is unconditionally guaranteed under Article 5, Section 3 of the Grundgesetz. What constitutes art is determined by the discourse within the art world itself—not by government agencies or security authorities. To undermine this principle jeopardizes the very foundation of our democratic culture.
We strongly endorse the criticism voiced by numerous institutions: decisions regarding funding and awards must be transparent, verifiable, and based on professional criteria. Procedures whose underlying principles remain secret and do not give those affected an opportunity to comment violate the minimum standards of the rule of law.
