A Cultural Renaissance is the reemergence and revitalization of a culture that, while still very much alive, has been forced into stagnation and cultural decline. By cultural decline, we mean that Breton music, art, literature and cultural events have all become disproportionately old. This doesn't mean we resent the great past works of Breton culture and indeed we recognize that there already some who continue to add to that legacy, however we believe that only through the creation of wide reaching cultural events, and the complete overhaul of the education system in Brittany is necessary in order to begin a true Cultural Renaissance. Breton children should be taught about past works of art and intellect done by Bretons that have left a mark on history here and across the world. Breton people should have options to participate in cultural events, not on off occasions, but with regularity. Therefore, Gwenn ha Du supports the creation of a Breton Authority which will work to rejuvenate and revitalize the Breton culture through cultural activities and education.
The primary objective of the Breton Authority will be to reverse the impact of cultural repression faced by existing and prior legislation which has successfully led to cultural decline in Brittany. It will seek to create wide spanning cultural events including events celebrating Breton history, events marking historically significant cultural holidays, events which seek to increase awareness of the long common heritage shared between Bretons and other Celtic peoples, events to promote Breton art and music, events that celebrate the natural beauty of the Breton countryside and events which will allow families and children to have fun while learning more about their Breton identities.
A Cultural Renaissance would not live up to the principles set forth by our movement if it left out the Gallo peoples of Upper Brittany. The Gallo people will have their own department within the Breton Authority tailored towards their cultural needs and promoting events of its own which will seek to restore Gallo language and cultural identity. The Gallo people and Bretons have much similarity in our resilience in the face of state sponsored cultural decline, and for this reason Gwenn ha Du will not leave the Gallo people behind in its fight for Cultural Renaissance.
