CLIPS FROM FORUM DCCA

For Hito Steyerl’s most recent work “SocialSim” (2020), Fabian Bechtle and Leon Kahane from the Forum for Democratic Culture and Contemporary Art (Forum dcca) developed a scale, the parameters of which register various significant threats to democracy. For the Kunstsammlung, Forum dcca has also produced video clips that comment on and contextualize these parameters.

Forum dcca is a project of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Among other things, it deals with the continuities of anti-Semitism and racism in contemporary cultural debates. During the run of “Hito Steyerl. I Will Survive”, the clips will be regularly presented here at K+, as well as on the digital channels of the Kunstsammlung.
