Art & Politics
Controversy

Art does politics – but this does not only refer to the work. Art politicizes itself not only through its creator. The scene also reproduces injustices of which it is not always aware. Nevertheless, those who are involved discuss in public: Who does an artwork belong to? Is it necessary to have a women's quota? What can art contribute to climate protection? Who is involved in sponsoring museums and galleries? Controversies that the Art.Salon does not want to let go unnoticed.

Green New Deal for the arts
