Die Kunst der Demokratie
Kulturinstitutionen als gesellschaftliche Akteure
Art fosters empathy, strengthens identity, creates spaces for encounter, and explores possible futures. We need all of this. Together with the Stiftung Team Ensemble, we invite experts to reflect on the potential of art and culture to strengthen democratic resilience.
Cultural institutions are unique places. People from very different backgrounds come together to experience art. But is that all there is? In recent years, expectations regarding their role in addressing social issues have increased, while institutions themselves are also expanding their understanding of the role they can play beyond the production and/or presentation of art.
The Zürcher Theater Spektakel, too, is more than a platform for dance and theatre – it is also a public place within the city.
Theater Spektakel, too, sees itself not only as a platform for dance and theatre, but also as a public space within the city. We speak to Anja Adam, who runs the Foyer Public at Theater Basel; Yasmin Naderi Afschar, who actively engages with society not only through the Migros Museum but also via the Neue Auftraggeber*innen project; and the artist Daniel Hellmann, who works artistically and as an activist on «Soya the cow». The discussion is moderated by Matthias von Hartz (Zürcher Theater Spektakel).
