Kunstpraxis in der Migrationsgesellschaft

More about the book

How are artistic practice and cultural participation linked to migration? This book advocates for a necessary shift in cultural policies to ensure broader societal access to art and culture. It highlights instances of underrepresentation and innovative societal approaches, illustrating how cross-cultural practices can be realized and how artistic productions reflecting the population's diversity can be effectively organized. The insights presented are based on experiences from the Vienna "social art space" Brunnenpassage, established in 2007 as a laboratory for transcultural and participative artistic processes. The work emphasizes the importance of redefining access to cultural resources, showcasing how diverse artistic expressions can emerge from collaborative efforts. By examining these dynamics, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of the intersection between migration, art, and cultural engagement, and calls for inclusive practices that recognize and celebrate the richness of diverse communities. Through its exploration of these themes, it aims to inspire new pathways for cultural participation and artistic collaboration in an increasingly multicultural society.
