Brexit: Opportunities and prospects in the cultural sector

On 20th and 21st September 2023, touring artists is organising a symposium on Brexit and its consequences for the cultural sector in Hamburg. The symposium aims to better connect actors from the cultural sector, cultural administrations and cultural policy and to improve the exchange of knowledge and experience on all topics related to Brexit. The focus will be on cooperation between Germany and the United Kingdom, but perspectives from other EU states will also be examined.

Registration is required for participation on 20.09.2023. The event on 21.09. can be attended spontaneously without registration and also without a Reeperbahn Festival ticket. Participation on both days is free of charge. Participation via Zoom is also possible for the 20.09.
