       Artistic freedom and culture funding: Berlin artists sign open letter against new antisemitism clauseAn open letter with more than 4,000 signatures argues against requiring arts funding recipients to commit to the "controversial IHRA definition of antisemitism".On January 4, Joe Chialo (CDU), the Berlin Senator for Culture and Social Cohesion, announced an “antidiscrimination clause” which must be signed by applicants for Berlin cultural funding. Ostensibly, this clause is meant to ensure that “no racist, antisemitic, queerphobic or otherwise discriminatory expressions are supported with public funds,” as the Berlin State Cultural Administration press release declares. Those of us who have signed the letter believe its impact could be much broader and more damaging to freedom of expression in the cultural scene.https://youtu.be/4ekA74X8nQY?si=phJ_UaTgbUSodbzN
