ICORN representatives in Barcelona
Dominika Kasprowicz from Villa Decius Association continues her work on the organization’s board, representing Kraków.
The meeting brings together cities, international organizations, and artists who, thanks to ICORN, are able to create safely and speak in their own voices.
“In cities, within cultural institutions, we are building a critical infrastructure of empathy,” Kasprowicz emphasizes.
“We don’t just offer shelter. We are building a European coalition to protect artists and human rights defenders – despite restrictive migration policies, war, and disinformation.”
This is where real change happens: in cities.
