Thousands of artists, writers, and creative workers in Berlin have taken to the streets to protest a recent decision by the city's Senate to cut the annual cultural budget. The movement, known as #BerlinIstKultur, argues that the cuts will destroy the city's cultural infrastructure, lead to program cuts, layoffs, and closures, and threaten diversity, excellence, resilience, and social cohesion. The group has launched a petition with over 110,000 signatories calling on the Senate to revise its decision and protect Berlin's creative identity and cultural economy.
