CultureBauhaus Manifesto: Broad alliance promoting artistic freedom

Weeks before Saxony-Anhalt’s state election, representatives from Germany’s cultural, crafts, architecture, design and church sectors issued the “Bauhaus Manifesto 2026.” Initiated by Culture Minister of State Wolfram Weimer, it champions artistic freedom, openness and creativity and calls for protection against anti-democratic attacks. The manifesto is seen as a response to the AfD’s cultural agenda.
