DenkArt: Die Rückeroberung des öffentlichen Raums
In the organizer's words:
There is much discussion about public space. Its use, its disappearance, its transformation. When we think of public spaces, we usually think first of parks or swimming pools, libraries or city squares. And we as a society, as people, are right in the middle of it, interacting, observing, lingering in it, alone or in groups. All these processes are a reflection of political conditions and society. The basic prerequisite for a democratic, urban society is public space as a place without the pressure to consume. However, privatization has taken these places away from the community. With artistic interventions, the re-appropriation of public space becomes symbolically visible and dialog and encounters with other people become possible again. It is thus also a negotiating space for access and participation as well as for art and culture.
We want to discuss public space and its significance for democracy with
Dr. Séverine Marguin (sociologist, TU Berlin),
Michael Wismar (art historian and artist) and
Helge Lindh (Member of the Bundestag).
Moderated by Helena Sattler (actress, moderator and author).
