Talk | What Does Art Have to Do With It? at the Cork International Film Festival

Event Details

Public conversation: What Does Art Have to Do With It? 

Art, Fascism and the Politics of Dissent

Description:

From the crackdown on Palestine solidarity to growing hostility towards queer and trans rights, Germany is experiencing an increasingly heated debate about freedom, identity and the limits of political dissent.

Can art challenge the way a country sees itself? And what happens when artists refuse to stay silent?

Berlin-based artist and filmmaker Vika Kirchenbauer explores these tensions in her new film This Suffocating Now, presented as part of the International Shorts competition.
