How can dystopian thinking be transformed into positive forces for a common future? The publication ”Krisenkunst – Kunstkrise?” deals with this complex topic in form of a dialogue led by young artists and academic staffs from the Acadamy of Fine Arts Leipzig and the Athens School of Fine Arts, as part of the program "p o s t documenta: contemporary arts as territorial agencies," with award-winning author and theorist T.J. Demos. It’s a conversation about the relevance and potential of artistic creation in the context of global environmental crisis, about raw ideas and the search for new perspectives between art, ecology, and politics. For T.J. Demos, the current climate emergency is first and foremost a political crisis that must be managed through an intersectional approach if a future worth living is to be shaped.
