The European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has announced the “ECF Princess Margriet Award for Culture” laureates for 2016, namely: theatre-makers and community developers Krétakör (Budapest, Hungary) and citizen laboratory for digital culture Medialab-Prado (Madrid, Kingdom of Spain). The award ceremony will take place in Amsterdam on 15 March 2016 under the protection of TRH Princess Margriet (former President), Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands (President of ECF and Extraordinary Member of the Board).
Krétakör and Medialab-Prado haven been chosen for the 2016 ECF Princess Margriet Award for Culture for their exceptional bodies of artistic and cultural work in developing critical spaces of social participation and political experimentation through culture.
By honouring these two laureates, ECF is highlighting the importance of culture in creating a more open and inclusive Europe. This is a Europe that ECF believes in and supports through its entire body of work, from its grant schemes and cultural managers’ exchange programme to its Connected Action for the Commons programme, which connects cultural change-makers at grassroots level and encourages new models of participation and democracy.
