In our often oppressive contemporary moment,
what ideas can we employ to create positive
change? Twelve international artists explore this
question, drawing inspiration from texts by Jewish
philosophers such as Theodor Adorno, Hannah
Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, and others.
An invitation to activate one's own imagination -
especially in these challenging times!
The perspective of the Jewish minority, which has
endured many unbearable moments throughout its
history, is this volume's starting point. Twelve new
artistic projects remind us of our own power of
creation in times of crisis, and ask: How can society
change? Themes include Jewish and universal
experiences, life in conflict zones, hybrid identities
and their society-transforming potential, and much
more. The publication invites us to think beyond fixed
parameters.
