With our projects and themes we react on the movements in
this world. We see the deep and rapid changes of our time and the development to a culture and knowledge Society as central challenge and chance. Thus the
structure of KulturAXE is a flexible one, the working processes dynamic and project oriented. KulturAXE sees itself as a living entity, whose passion and identity
are carried and shared by its members. The first line is marked by the urgency- to reduce hierarchical processes in the transnational information
flow;
- to promote art- and culture oriented communication and networking as opposed to the ever increasing economically and profit-based exchange and
collaboration.
Just as the axes Johannesburg-Vienna or Vienna-Kiew form part of the programme of KulturAXE, so do the axes in the urban vicinity - to
other initiatives, artists, cultural acteurs and the public. The fostering of these synergies represents a priority for KulturAXE - such as the “freedom to
learn about and choose ideas from different cultures in the world” (Amartya Sen, indian nobel prize winner, “the intrinsic role of freedoms of
different kinds”). The intercultural tolerance, a prerequisite for universal peace (Tolerance declaration, UNESCO, 1995), mutual respect, recognition
of diversity and equality of cultures, cornerstones of the “project future”. |
