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.


Research
€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..

..but needs to be supported

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!
