After a successful first working meeting in March 2020, the international research cluster “Arts Production and Cultural Policy in Transformation” (ACPT) is organising a second international working meeting on “Cultural Policy Transformations: The Rise of Illiberalism” on 8–10 October, 2020 at Zeppelin University. Registration is free of charge for students and staff of Zeppelin University.


In cooperation with international guests, we will examine how illiberalism and authoritarian politics affect cultural policy and individual cultural institutions—and thus inevitably our societies. The meeting will furthermore ask, which artistic, civil society, and political reactions are being developed in light of corresponding trends.
