Art, Politics and the Institution - A European Summit

Conference, engl.
Sat 16. Sep / 1117 h / Laboratorio17, Jungbuschstr. 17
Admission free

Many current political movements develop and grow in the context of cultural institutions. They sometimes serve as places of gathering or protection or as catalysts. What is the relationship between cultural institutions and politics in the current political landscape? Can we learn from each other’s experiences despite economic and institutional differences? Cultural institutions from six countries have been invited by artist Andreas Liebmann to discuss their political place and the freedom of art in today's Europe.
