Our Mission
DiEM Voice: the place where art and politics meet
DiEM Voice is a canvas for politically conscious artists of all disciplines to connect, express themselves, and advocate for DiEM25’s vision: only borderless societies can bring about true democracy, solidarity and care for the planet.
Artists find in DiEM Voice a common space to reflect together and turn their ideas and creativity into rich political messages that are then promoted across Europe in the form of campaigns and events.
It is through art and culture that DiEM Voice promotes DiEM25’s radical proposals for social justice, transparency, a green transition to a new economic model, and the conviction that transnational action is the only arena to effect change.
Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) is a pan-European movement of democrats, united under the conclusion that the European Union will only survive if it is radically transformed. To learn more about DiEM25, please visit our main website.
