Frequencies | Culture Action Europe Podcast Platform
Culture Action Europe’s podcast platform hosts a growing range of series that explore culture as a force for connection, transformation, and political imagination.
Currently, the platform hosts Frequencies and Trust the Process. Each podcast finds its own way to reflect on the plurality of voices and approaches that make up our shared cultural and creative ecosystem.
Frequencies lives at the intersection of culture and politics by focusing on the power of cultural practises and agents in nurturing inclusive, open, diverse, fair, and democratic societies.
