Talks on contemporary art: Holocaust or postcolonial studies. Questions that cannot be solved scientifically (Natan Sznaider, René Aguigah & Heinz Bude)
Series of talks at the teaching and research station on Lutherplatz in Kassel.
Art that aims at the present inevitably has to do with the sometimes rather poisoned relationships between art, politics and society. Against this backdrop, the talks explore the early entanglements of documenta, but also pose the question of how contemporary art positions itself in today's world of global conflict. What can and should art do in the face of the pandemic and war?
The discussion series "Conversations on Contemporary Art" is a cooperation between TRACES and the documenta Institute (03.05.2022 to 20.09.2022, Tuesdays, 6 to 8 pm).
About TRACES

It is thus a nationally and internationally unique institution for exhibition research.
