Promoting “Cultural Rights” for Inhabitants of Segregated Neighbourhoods in Cape Town, Salvador de Bahia, and Toulouse. From “Cultural Insurrection” to Epistemic Action

Cultural movements in segregated neighborhoods of Cape Town, Salvador de Bahia, and Toulouse demonstrate significant potential to challenge institutional resistance and reshape resource redistribution models. Despite facing similar forms of inflexibility from public authorities, these movements employ convergent strategies that are both political and entrepreneurial, effectively promoting the cultural expressions of racialized and ethnicized groups. This international comparison highlights how cultural activists can shift paradigms to favor marginalized voices, offering a model for broader cultural democratization.
