The time leading up to the grand final remains uncertain. Commentators have placed their bets on what they think the overarching theme of this year’s contest will be. This platform celebrates diversity and promotes freedom. Today, that work is more important than ever, as our cultural divisions become increasingly wide and obvious.
Chris Packham, a naturalist and BBC television presenter, recently highlighted the importance of these kinds of platforms. He stated, “That very urgently needs countering in this time of divisive culture wars, with assaults on inclusivity and diversity.” This idea strikes at the heart of Eurovision’s core mission of celebrating diversity and unity through music.
Eurovision truly dazzles in its joyful, even whimsical, tone and celebratory performances. Yet, at the same time, it serves as a mirror to highlight many of our nation’s critical issues. Perhaps this year’s contest will be different as it follows the recent trend to go beyond mere spectacle.
