Each year On the Move proposes a Cultural Mobility Forum to collectively investigate international artistic and cultural mobility trends. As a unique knowledge platform, the network works together with its members and partners to design thematic panel discussions and contextualise global mobility issues.
Focus 2026: Cultural Mobility Justice
Cultural mobility justice examines and challenges the systemic inequities that determine who can move, create and participate within the global cultural landscape. It exposes how visa restrictions, economic disparities, and enduring colonial, ableist and patriarchal power structures disproportionately limit the mobility of artists and culture professionals – particularly those from marginalised communities, burdened by precarious working conditions, family responsibilities, or personal constraints, or from non-Western contexts.
Below are four videos of speeches and conversations that took place on Wednesday 29 April 2026.
