Exhibition

Als Abschluss der ersten DEMOK-Veranstaltungsreihe trifft die Akademie auf Handelnde, Mitdenkende und Verbündete im Kampf gegen die Entdemokratisierung. Es werden Fragen diskutiert und als zukünftige Aufgabe skizziert, um uns künstlerisch gemeinsam für eine Gesellschaft der Mehrstimmigkeit einzusetzen.

Gespräche

It is high time to strengthen democratic action. Artists, in particular, are called upon to actively oppose the erosion of democratic structures through teaching, practice, and community-building. As the Academy of Fine Arts, it is clearly our duty to commit ourselves to preserving and safeguarding a democratic society. Starting in October 2026, the long-term DEMOK program will actively invite participants to help shape it and get involved.
