The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are part of a global plan to promote sustainable peace and prosperity and protect our planet. With the 2030 Agenda, they have not only gained political prominence but have also become more present in society.
By disseminating art and supporting artists, we aim to contribute to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their indicators :
π― SDG 4: High-quality

Act.
π― SDG 5:

Strengthen groups (e.g. female artists, queer or migrant artists) and give them public visibility.
π Art can
contribute to challenging gender stereotypes and creating spaces for equality β also through targeted funding policies.
π― SDG 8: Decent

Art has the potential to amplify marginalized voices and promote social participation, for example, of people with a migration background or disabilities.
