Cultural Mediation

What is cultural mediation?

Creative activity for Renée Carrier's exhibition,
La couleur écrite, 2022

According to Culture pour tous, cultural mediation can be translated as follows:

Cultural mediation refers to the process of bringing together the cultural and social spheres, the construction of new links between politics, culture, and public space. It encompasses a wide range of practices, and ultimately aims to make everyone a cultural actor.

A cultural mediation project aims to create bridges between citizens, artists, and their works. Mediation offers several different approaches, from customized guided tours to artistic co-creation, including meetings and discussions with professionals in the field and discovery or initiation workshops.

The main objectives of cultural mediation are:

  • To enable cultural discoveries to be made by groups of citizens;
  • To promote educational moments and collective reflection;
  • To create bridges between citizens and artists;
  • Focus on active participation by citizens and students;
  • Promote the cohesion of the social fabric by reducing prejudices and gaps;
