Think Tank

Culturaliz is also a platform for critical reflection. We publish essays, research, and policy proposals that rethink the role of culture in shaping public agendas, soft power, and symbolic governance.

Symbolic power and collective imagination

We explore how cultural symbols, narratives, and aesthetics shape political realities, legitimize authority, and mobilize societies. From monuments to media, symbolic power is at the core of global influence.

Cultural policy and international diplomacy

We analyze how states, institutions, and multilateral actors use culture to build soft power, advance foreign policy, and foster global dialogue. Our work bridges policy design with symbolic intent.

We investigate how artistic practices reflect, challenge, and reconfigure the global order. Biennales, national pavilions, and creative economies are seen as strategic arenas of visibility and influence.

Art and geopolitical narratives

We examine the cultural dimensions of memory-making, land identity, and historical reparation. Our focus is on how symbolic actions contribute to healing, justice, and new territorial imaginaries.
