Statement on non-partisanship in cultural work

Statements

Clarifying the Institute’s posture as a cultural and scholarly organisation independent of party politics.

The Ardaviraf Institute is dedicated to research, preservation, and public education in the humanities and cultural heritage. Our mandate does not extend to electoral politics or partisan campaigns.

Individual members of our community hold diverse views; the Institute as an institution does not endorse candidates or parties. Public programmes may address civic themes when they illuminate history, ethics, or cultural questions, but they are framed for inquiry rather than mobilisation.

This posture safeguards the trust of our audiences and preserves room for collaboration across differences—a condition for the long-term work we exist to pursue.
