The panel discussion takes place within the framework of the IGBK annual project »visual artists - diverse conditions«. With this event, the IGBK, against the background of its involvement in the IAA Europe, is examining the conditions of artistic work in Europe from the perspective of diversity.

What impact do characteristics such as age, gender origin/language and geographical location (or place of residence) have on the work of visual artists in addition to country-specific cultural policy, art policy and socio-political conditions? To what extent is the presence or absence of diversity structures noticeable in institutions, i.e. also in artists' associations? 

With this in mind, artistic positions are to be included in the panel discusssion.

Valentina Karga is currently working on questioning the concept of the »self« by proposing non-anthropocentric narratives of the future. She wants to expand the diverstiy discussion to include the perspective of neurodiversity.

In her artistic work, Anike Joyce Sadiq »consistently reconsiders the extent to which social dynamics, intersectionality, and perspectives of difference are negotiated within the institutional structures« (excerpt exhibition text »Mit Glück hat es nichts zu tun«, Künstlerhaus Stuttgart 2022).

The event is free of charge with the prior binding registration by 05 June 2023. Participation is limited due to space. Registrations will be considered in the order of receipt.
