Oslo Kommunes budsjettforslag 2022: En million til Safemuse residensordning
EN GLEDENS DAG
I ettermiddag ble Oslo Kommunes budsjettforslag for 2022 endelig lagt frem, og gleden var stor da Safemuse mottok beskjeden om byrådets innstilling på en million kroner til etablering og drift av residensordning i Oslo for truede, forfulgte og sensurerte kunstnere, i samarbeid med Nordic Black Theatre.
Safemuse setter kunstnerisk ytringsfrihet på dagsorden gjennom ulike prosjekter og samarbeid. Arbeidet med å etablere en fast trygg residens i Oslo har pågått over lang tid og prosjektet vil støtte opp under den frie kunsten ved å skape trygge arbeidssteder for truede og forfulgte kunstnere fra hele verden. I tillegg vil prosjektet underbygge målet om Oslo som en internasjonal by med lokal forankring og bidra til kunst- og kulturlivet lokalt og nasjonalt.
“Dette er jo helt strålende!” utbrøt Jan Lothe Eriksen, daglig leder i Safemuse, etter å ha mottatt nyheten om budsjettforslaget. “Etter flere års arbeid for å få dette til ser vi nå stor forståelse og entusiasme hos politisk ledelse i Oslo kommune for Safemuse sitt arbeid. Med dette vil vi i samarbeid med Nordic Black Theater og andre gode støttespillere gi hardt prøvede og truede kunstnere rundt i verden unike muligheter til å arbeide i fred for sensur og forfølgelse, i samarbeid med kunstnere i Oslo. Oslo-publikummets møte med disse kunstnerne vil også gi en mulighet til å skape større forståelse for betydningen av kunstnerisk ytringsfrihet og kunstens rolle i samfunnet.”
