Widersprüche zusammendenken – Wie geht intersektionale Kulturarbeit?

Anti-antisemitism and anti-racism must not be opposites. We must search for an art of understanding – beyond flat clichés.

The lab aimed to investigate how art projects can effectively engage audiences in dialogues. The focus was on conceiving art and formats that extend beyond one's own intellectual or social circle, incorporating and negotiating the political needs of the audience. Additionally, one of the goals was to develop strategies that could enhance and optimize communication within one's own team and with a diverse audience.

The association fluxus² e.V. is dedicated to the intersection of political art and artistic politics, striving for an aesthetic of mutual understanding. In this pursuit, it mobilizes an audience with deeply rooted political convictions. However, when these convictions diverge due to their diversity, how can postcolonial and anti-Semitic viewpoints be reconciled? How can the intricacies of academic and identity politics align with the imperative for clear, universally accessible artistic expression?

As the identity-driven needs of various milieus increasingly present conflicting expectations, there is potential for the far-right to aggressively challenge progressive and democratic approaches to art, branding them as ideologically biased. In this intellectual and societal tension, there is a need for a sustainable redesign of effective communication practices.
