Open city: roundtable discussion for safe, inclusive and accessible cultural spaces

Creating a space where all people feel truly welcome and safe is not utopia: it is a concrete choice. Pordenone Italian Capital of Culture 2027 wants to be a place where every identity is respected.

A meeting open to all cultural and associative realities, to citizenship, to make Pordenone’s coat of arms (with its open doors) a reality. Pordenone Docs Fest and Cinemazero put the first piece of the “Open Cities” project: an opportunity for concrete dialogue with voices from the world of culture, journalism, activism, technology and the audiovisual industry. To imagine together a Manifesto of safe, inclusive and accessible cultural spaces, a tool not only for the benefit of the festival, but for the whole city and all the realities that animate it.
