KANN KULTUR DIE DEMOKRATIE RETTEN? - TRIGGER THEATERFESTIVAL

Art and culture inspire and challenge, they are important forums for critical debate on social issues. They form the basis for innovation and drive our democracy and organize the way we live together.

Against the backdrop of growing social division, the breakdown of dialogue and discourse due to radicalization, the rise of right-wing extremism, hatred and intolerance, we ask ourselves what opportunities and obligations we have as a society and as creators of culture to strengthen and preserve democracy.

Panel discussion with Katharina Fritsch (Head of Corporate Communications, Community & Membership 1.FCN, 2nd Chairwoman of the Alliance against Right-Wing Extremism), Andrea Kuhn (Director of the Nuremberg Human Rights Film Festival), Sarah Lohr (Z-Bau, Akne Kid Joe), Margret Bernreuther (Radio Z), Viola Karaalioğlu (Inter-Kultur-Büro Stadt Nürnberg)

Moderation: Dr. Alexander Schmidt (cityscape researcher and historian, Nuremberg)
