Diversitätskompetenz
mit Fariba Mosleh
Diversität ist eine Kernkompetenz, die Kulturorganisationen zukunftsfähig und nachhaltig gesellschaftsrelevant macht. Um Diversität im eigenen Haus zu verankern und sie im Alltag zu leben, braucht es klare Strategien und konsequentes Handeln. Innerhalb einer Organisation ist Diversität eine Querschnittsaufgabe, das heißt, alle sind für die Umsetzung von Maßnahmen verantwortlich. Programme und Veranstaltungen können Lebensrealitäten sichtbar machen und Räume für Teilhabe öffnen – ästhetisch, sprachlich und inhaltlich, vor, auf und hinter der Bühne.

It's out now: White paper on empathy-driven narrative interventions /
Choose Your Own Adventure / COYA: A Strategic Framework for Narrative Building
Salzburg Global Fellows have developed a tool for designing empathy-driven narrative interventions capable of bridging divides in pluralistic societies.
CYOA introduces an adaptable, empathy-centered approach for creating narrative interventions that respond to today’s social, cultural, and political complexities. We’ve been creating this paper collaboratively out of our working group of artists, cultural leaders, strategists, and practitioners. The framework grew out of a prototype we first explored during the Salzburg Global session. Since then, our team has expanded it into a comprehensive tool designed for individual practitioners, cultural institutions, and funders.

This white paper was developed by Salzburg Global Fellows Elijah McKinnon, Fariba Mosleh, Juliana Martinez, Luvenia Kalia, Marya Bangee, and Monica Roa. They attended the Culture, Arts and Society session on "Creating Futures: Art of Narrative" in April 2025.
Creating Futures Together - The Art of Narrative and Global Connection / Salzburg Global /
Earlier this year I had the incredible honour to become fellow art Salzburg Global!
Together with about 40 artists, writers, filmmakers, journalists, and community practitioners I’ve been invited to gather at Schloss Leopoldskron to explore how storytelling can forge more inclusive and connected futures.

So proud and happy to have met all this inspiring and awesome people whom I deeply admire. Our paths are continuing to cross.

Demokratisierung von Kulturinstitutionen - eine Diskussion
Vor welchen Herausforderungen stehen Kultureinrichtungen angesichts des Aufstiegs von Faschismus und antidemokratischen Bewegungen? Wie kann es gelingen, die Strukturen von Kultureinrichtungen demokratisch zu gestalten? Was bedeutet das überhaupt? Gemeinsam erkunden wir Strategien, um neoliberalen und autoritären Strukturen im Kunst- und Kulturbereich entgegenzuwirken, und Wege, sich am Arbeitsplatz zu organisieren.

Democratisation of cultural institutions - a discussion
What challenges do cultural institutions face in the face of the rise of fascism and anti-democratic movements? How can we succeed in democratising the structures of cultural institutions? What does that even mean? Together we will explore strategies to counteract neoliberal and authoritarian structures in the arts and culture sector and ways to organise in the workplace.

Haus der Republik / Volkskundemuseum Wien
These hearings will delve into the core principles of decision-making, work structures, and curation processes, exploring best practices like gender, age, and continent quotas. We're tackling some big questions: How much grassroots democracy, control, and regulation are needed? Should majority opinion prevail, or should individual expertise guide us?
If you happen to be in Viena join this 21st of May @Volkskundemuseum Wien for a series of thought-provoking discussions that include decision-making processes, project funding, invitation criteria, the roles of producers and audiences, and the alignment of a globally active festival with sustainability.
Over the next five weeks, the Council of the Republic will attend and contribute to these hearings, culminating in the presentation of the Vienna Declaration at the end of the festival.
