Kultur in Graz, REAGENZ. Flyer PDF DEMOKRATIE LEBEN The socio-political climate is getting colder and colder, both nationally and internationally. The fragile and already brittle basis of coexistence is threatening to collapse and undermine social achievements. Triggered and reinforced by extreme right-wing political tendencies, highly dangerous populist ideologies are spreading like wildfire in the media. Art poses deeper questions. Democracy, which has been practiced as a matter of course over a long period of time, appears to be permanently secure and untouchable. But doesn‘t this supposed security harbor the danger of distancing ourselves from democratic ways of life? “LIVING DEMOCRACY EVERYDAY” could stop this development.
