Together with Kreativwirtschaft Sachsen-Anhalt e.V. and the Landeszentrum Freies Theater Sachsen-Anhalt e.V., we are hosting an election forum featuring a panel discussion on the election benchmarks<\/a> we sent to the political parties. We\u2019ll engage in direct dialogue and ask questions in person. We invite you to join us: Come to Halle (Saale) on August 22, 2026, and prepare to make your decision for the next 5 years in #Saxony-Anhalt\u2014to cast your votes in the state election on September 6, 2026. <\/p>\n\n

But that\u2019s not all: Use your voice and your questions to make cultural policy a key issue in the state election! Don\u2019t just be the subject of political debates\u2014be a part of them yourself! After all, cultural and creative professionals help shape Saxony-Anhalt every day\u2014through art, design, theater, film, music, communication, ideas, and new perspectives. They create jobs, revitalize cities and rural areas, spark debates, and highlight social diversity. <\/p>\n\n

At the election forum, we\u2019ll bring our questions to the stage: How exactly do the parties plan to improve the conditions under which we work after the state election? How will they safeguard freedom of art and freedom of expression? What do they plan to do about precarious incomes, bureaucracy, and a lack of spaces? What are their positions on fair compensation, cultural funding, self-employment, social security, and the visibility of creative work? <\/p>\n\n

The following party representatives are in attendance:<\/p>\n\n
