A topic we immediately added to our "must-do" list when we launched this format on StreetPress: 🚨 What the far right is doing to culture When the far right comes to power, what happens to cultural policy? Festival cancellations, budget cuts, ideological pressure: behind the rhetoric of "neutrality" or "savings," political choices sometimes profoundly reshape the local cultural landscape. 🎙️ Who are our guests? We're with Aurélie Hannedouche, director of the Syndicat des Musiques Actuelles (SMA), which represents nearly 600 players in the music industry, and Fabrice Manuel, co-founder of the Jazz à Vauvert festival, an event canceled immediately after his election by Nicolas Meizonnet, the town's new National Rally mayor. It has since found a new home a few kilometers away in Vergèze and will take place on June 26 and 27. 👀 Why should you watch this episode? Because attacks against culture are also about power, influence, and societal projects. In three sessions, StreetPress gives you the keys to understanding the far right's cultural strategies, identifying the actors behind them, and assessing their concrete consequences. 📚 Where can you find the resources presented in the training? Through the chat, you shared several useful resources for mobilizing against the far right when you're involved in the cultural sector. First, the action kit from the Corps et Graphies collective, created for the 2024 legislative elections: 👉 https://v-assets.cdnsw.com/fs/Root/gj... Next, the resources from the SMA (Syndicat des Musiques Actuelles - Movement for the Modernization of Culture) suggested by our guest, Aurélie, also for the legislative elections: 👉 https://sma-mobilisation-legislatives...

Join us on Monday, June 22nd at 7 PM for your next training session! Throughout June, we'll be discussing how the cultural sector is resisting the far right! We're doing this with the Syndicat des Musiques Actuelles (Syndicate of Contemporary Music) and we're continuing with an episode dedicated to Pierre-Édouard Stérin, the billionaire who wants to win the cultural battle. Little known to the general public, Pierre-Édouard Stérin has become one of the main financiers of the French conservative right and far right. Through his investments and the projects he supports, he is contributing to the construction of an ideological ecosystem that aims to have a lasting impact on French society. We're inviting Alice Barbe, activist, and Annabelle Martella, freelance journalist and member of the Hors Cadre collective. They investigated his networks and influence strategies. 👉 To watch the live stream, click here on June 22nd at 7 PM: https://soutenir.streetpress.com/les-... ⁉️ So, what exactly are StreetPress training sessions? Faced with the entrenchment of the far right across the country, there's one solution: training to better engage. In each episode, our journalist Martin Bodrero interviews researchers, journalists, activists, and committed grassroots activists.
