Reimagining Culture as Strategic Power
Culturaliz is an independent think tank that explores, designs, and activates cultural strategies with political, symbolic, and social impact. Our mission is to position culture as a core force of power and influence, beyond ornament or entertainment.
Operating at the crossroads of art, politics, diplomacy, and critical thought, we generate spaces of reflection and action that shift narratives and build cultural intelligence.
Rooted in the Global South and oriented toward the world, we connect creators, institutions, and strategic agents to strengthen the structural role of culture in contemporary challenges.
Insightful and transformative cultural perspectives.
