What is it about?

The right to culture should be regarded as a set of rights and freedoms associated with participation in artistic culture as a kind of umbrella term, consisting of freedom to create and share one’s own works, the right to experience the works of others, also helping to set the boundaries in horizontal relations between artists, and the freedom of access and creation on the basis of available works. The right to culture is also connected to the fair financing of artistic life and universally assured access to it, and the entitlements generated in that way could be justiciable, wherever the standards of financing and supporting artistic culture are established.
