The State allows you to sponser yourself!


Francisco Camacho, founder and director of Eira posted an open letter to Mr. Jorge Sampaio, president of Guimarães 2012 European Capital for Culture.

He speaks of a situation that has become quite "normal" these days... besides not having any public funding or having suffered serious cuts, Portuguese (as Spanish and others) creators are now "sponsoring" the State by taking on loans and paying for expenses that the State should have paid for in the first place… How did this happen? When did the State lost all liability before its citizens? Are they allowing the cultural sector to sponsor the country's image, society and cultural action? How kind of them!
