DEMOK: ACT AND SPEAK: Democracy Under Pressure
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.

Narrative Techniques for Clear, Memorable Research Presentations

Regine Prange: The Heroic in an Age of Decadence. Baudelaire’s Aesthetics of Modernity between Realism and the Supernatural
Gustave Courbet laid the foundations for modern painting in his rural homeland, Franche-Comté. His friend Charles Baudelaire found, in the city of Paris alone, a ‘heroic’ beauty in modern life that could stand on equal terms with the classical tradition. This lecture traces the poet and art critic’s anti-modern conception of modernity.
