Cultural Transformation Movement Hub

Cultural Transformation Movement (CTM) is an alliance of multidisciplinary art centres, production houses, and cultural organisations committed to cultural transformation and diversification of all components of the creative process. The urgency stems from a clear need to address growing inequalities in arts and cultural sectors in Europe and within the societies we serve at large. We aim to highlight our efforts toward communities that are underrepresented, marginalised, excluded, and do not have equal access to the resources to actualise their creative and professional potential. Through our dedicated work, we are committed to examining the drivers of growing inequalities, ‘othering’. The norm-critical approach is at the heart of our work, and our commitment to enhancing social justice entails, in broad terms, that, apart from Trans Europe Halles members, we welcome other cultural networks and concerned organisations to join us on different levels.
