The Global Music Centre is one of Finland’s musical institutions. Its key task is to collect, record and distribute information about musical cultures from around the world. The Centre aims to increase understanding among listeners, researchers and music-makers of the individual and collective values in music, and of the importance of music as a means of communicating and strengthening identity. Thus the Centre aims to promote understanding between people across cultural boundaries, through music. Equality and respect for others are basic values in the work of the Centre.
The activities of the Global Music Centre are funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
The Global Music Centre operates in collaboration with KSL Civic Association for Adult Learning, the Finnish Society for Ethnomusicology, the Finnish Society of Composers and Lyricists, the Finnish Labour Museum Werstas and the City of Helsinki.
art27 is a platform for artists, arts educators and arts organizations working with refugees and asylum seekers in Europe and beyond. We take our mission from Article 27 of the Declaration of Human Rights: the right of every person to be freely able to participate in the cultural life of their community. We are excited to welcome proposals of artistic works in order to further pursue our mission: to support every person’s human right to participate freely in the cultural life of their community.
We are now inviting applications to commission new collaborative artworks.
