Art is resistance, talk with Claudia Roth
Freedom of art is indispensable for democracy—it opens up spaces for dissent, exposes injustice, and keeps memories alive. Sophocles' Antigone already asked what happens when state order and human dignity collide. Millennia later, Ton Steine Scherben gave this attitude a new voice: “Destroy what destroys you.” Art does not remain silent when democracy and human rights are threatened.
But today, culture is under pressure: in the “culture war from the right,” in debates about memory, through attempts at ideological influence on funding and exhibition practices—visible, for example, in the US. Are we at risk of losing key achievements of our diverse cultural scene? Can cultural institutions maintain their independence? What role do artists play in democracy?
