Culture is vital to who we are at the Salifu Dagarti Foundation. It shapes our identities, connects communities, and fuels creativity and innovation. It helps us to express shared values, histories, and dreams through art, language, music, film, festivals, and more. Preserving the diversity of cultural expressions ensures that all voices, especially those from minority, indigenous, and underrepresented communities, are heard and valued. In a globalised and digital world, however, dominant cultures often overshadow smaller ones, making it harder for local or minority content to be seen, shared, or funded. To protect and promote cultural diversity, the Salifu Dagarti Foundation aids and supports local artists with funding and infrastructure, introduces quotas or visibility requirements for local content on streaming platforms, and ensures fair access to international markets and mobility. Education, community media, and legal protections for traditional knowledge also play essential roles in what we do at SDF as it aids in keeping culture alive and evolving. By creating inclusive policies and valuing all forms of cultural expression, we help build more resilient, creative, and equitable societies.
