Workshop: “What does art have to do with democracy?”
The exhibition “Velvet Terrorism: Pussy Riot’s Russia,” displayed in the former air-raid shelter of Haus der Kunst, serves as our starting point for exploring democracy and human rights with students.
What does democracy have to do with art? Is artistic freedom a human right? What are the limits for artists?
In this workshop, we use playful and performative methods, with a strong focus on open discussion.
The workshop was developed by Lena Scholle and is based on her game CIVIS – The Democracy Game, a cooperative game about democracy and human rights.
