Description

"Resistance requires not only critical thinking, but also new aesthetic approaches. This project addresses this significant challenge."Ilija Trojanow, writer, translator and publisher"I would have loved to take part myself: To learn about historical fascism, to detect and recognise its current forms, and how, despite our different origins and strategies, we fundamentally belong to the same side. These days, the way frontlines are drawn is so unbearably ugly and banal, it seems not just reasonable to develop an art of resistance, it could also be beautiful."Eva Menasse, writerThe Arts of Resistance constitutes a collaborative and intergenerational artistic research inquiry into the historical and contemporary (artistic) means of resistance against fascism, initiated by Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond as part of their long-term engagement with the topic.
