Fragile Affinities - (Re)strengthening international artistic collaboration
Symposium
organised by Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste in
cooperation with Akademie der Künste, Berlin, on the occasion of IGBK's
60th anniversary.
Against the background of authoritarian and nationalist movements
in many countries, artists, too, are becoming growingly restricted in
their rights to freedom or excluded from exchange. We are concerned
about the alarming developments in Turkey, the
increasing erosion of democratic institutions in the EU Member States
of Poland and Hungary, and the British vote to exit the EU. With this
year’s election a nationalist party is 3rd strongest group in the German
Bundestag. Considering also most recent German-German
history, these examples cause us to debate the ways in which artists
preserve and shape necessary spaces for their activity in times of
decreasing social cohesion within Europe.
