SUMMARY:Tamizdat at the 2026 Cultural Mobility Forum
DESCRIPTION:Tamizdat is proud to be a participant present for this year’s assembly of the Cultural Mobility Forum\, organized by On the Move\, in partnership with Kooperativa – Regional Platform for Culture\, in Skopje\, Republic of North Macedonia\, from 29–30 April. The forum this year focuses on the vital theme of Cultural Mobility Justice and will take place at multiple locations in the city. \nThe Forum serves as a critical platform for addressing the systemic barriers that hinder the free movement of artists and cultural workers. Discussions will center on navigating visa obstacles\, dismantling institutional gatekeeping\, and addressing the economic and political disparities that impact international cultural exchange. \nWe look forward to joining our colleagues and partners in Skopje to contribute to these essential conversations and to further our commitment to a more equitable landscape for global artistic mobility.
