Charter for Cultural Rights Community + Culture = Civil Society. A shift beyond the dominant models of arts provision is urgent. This shift must involve civil society, a civil society resourced and ready to take up new formations and innovations. 6. Community + Culture = Equality. Communities need to enjoy an equality of status and recognition of their culture. They are producers and consumers of culture, and need access to publicly subsidised funding for their cultural expression. Their cultural rights must be recognised, fulfilled and given parity of esteem. 7. Community + Culture = Place. Communities are connected by place and identity and identification with place. Environment, landscape, nature, and materials underpin community and culture, and change. This connectedness is based on a renewed sense of mutuality and environmental stewardship. By signing up to the Community+Culture statement we share a joint commitment to develop local practice sites and indicative actions to make this Charter real.
