Culture isn’t a luxury. 
It’s what connects us, inspires us, and shapes our future. 
We need to invest in it — not tear it down.




Mission

Right now, The Netherlands is at risk of 
losing its unique arts and cultural landscape 
due to €1 billion in funding cuts to education, research, and culture. 

These cuts threaten artists and students, destroying creative opportunities. Faced 
with a future when AI will be used as an excuse to fully defund culture, we must take action to protect creativity as irreplaceable and vital.



€75 million cut from the Ministry          Education, Culture, and Science
   in 2025, €361 million in 2029


Dutch Government fully pursuing the        historically largest cuts in higher        education and science.

Extreme cuts in the cultural sector        are also part of our culture”,              Geert Wilders






By signing this petition, you’re sending a clear message to the government: creativity and culture matter. 

Creativity cannot be generated..

With a title that challenges creativity itself, "This Event Was AI Generated" explores 
the tension between human artistry and machine-generated outputs.

The event will show the value of human connection in art through live performances 
by spoken-word artist Razeen and musician Lilo Milova. The artists will perform against 
AI-generated pieces created using their original works, inviting audiences to reflect 
on the uniqueness of human creativity and the implications of AI in the arts.

Join us at Cinetol to witness Razeen’s and Lilo Milova’s art alongside the uncanny creations 
of AI. Bring your curiosity, enjoy the show, and be part of this one-of-a-kind experience. 
See you on January 24th!
