Issues that are given priority in the work programme of Mimeta-

Mimeta works to allow for a country's population to get access to artistic expressions that are created on free terms and presented by independent institutions or venues, - in favor of the art itself, human rights and an open, sustainable society.

This is our vision and the impact we aim for by our efforts, a vision that is in the hands of those within the cultural sector who are taking initiatives in the construction of social and political structures, increased transparency and sound governance. Among those individuals and organizations you find our partners.

Mimeta is specifically searching for outcomes based on:

• Initiatives that give artists, producers and artistic works better protection against abuse, detention and censorship.
•  Initiatives that contribute to processes and tools that give artists and producers their democratic opportunity to influence what may hinder the free exercising of their rights.
• Initiatives that strengthen independent platforms (venues, festivals, spaces etc) providing free, artistic expressions.
• Initiatives that strengthen organizations that work on behalf of the arts, as service providers, to improve the sectors´ position on rights issues, in political and legal matters, the professionalism, the distribution of the arts and the sustainability of the sector.

Dear Elineca. In most cases Mimeta work with civil society, but also open towards co-operation with authorities.
