Skal UDI ødelegge for kunsten?

For at kunsten skal kunne redde oss, må det legges til rette for det. Økonomisk ja, men også ved å sikre de stemmene som risikerer alt for at kunsten kan leve. Utenriksdepartementet finansierer tiltak som skal bidra til å styrke kunstnere i land der kunsten er under press, men Utlendingsdirektoratet med Justisdepartementet i ryggen opererer med så strenge grenser at det vanskeliggjør jobben.

 

Menneskerettighetsarbeid er ikke bare en mobilisering mot overgrep, men også en mobilisering for menneskelighet. Og der har kunsten og kunstnerne en rolle. Kunstnerne vår organisasjon bistår, ønsker å komme til Norge for å arbeide kunstnerisk uten frykt for sensur og straff. Men for dem synes muligheten for et residensopphold i Norge fjernt, om ikke umulig.

 

Safemuse får finansiering fra regjeringen til å invitere kunstnere som er truet, forfulgt eller sensurert i sine hjemland, til Norge for kortere opphold. I Norge får de et pusterom, så de makter å arbeide og kjempe videre. Kunstnerne ønsker å returnere og virke som kunstnere og menneskerettighetsforkjempere i hjemlandet.

 

Midlene Safemuse mottar er øremerka land der Utenriksdepartementet prioriterer å bidra til økonomisk utvikling og velferd, såkalte ODA-land. Men hvordan oppfylle det målet, når Utlendingsdirektoratet gjør det så vanskelig for kunstnerne å få oppholdstillatelse? Mennesker fra såkalt «asylproduserende» land, uten «returforutsetninger», for å bruke UDI sine termer, kan i mange tilfeller se langt etter oppholdstillatelse.

 

For å gjøre det vi kan for at kunsten skal redde oss og kunstnere og menneskerettsforkjempere få fortsette det viktige arbeidet, trenger vi at Utenriksdepartementet viser handlekraft og foretar en regelendring. Regjeringen omtaler menneskerettighetene som både mål og middel i norsk utenriks- og utviklingspolitikk, sentralt i det arbeidet står innsatsen for menneskerettighetsforkjempere. Da må det bli mulig å gjøre en innsats for dem. Slik at kunsten og kunstnerne kan redde flere enn oss.
