Dialogue: The party formally known as Bier (German)

On the freedom of art, artistic intervention and creative activism in uncertain times.What must, may, should art and what not in a time when paradigms are shifting. Who has the authority to interpret, what has the right to do and why are we all so polarized? Paul Estrela, co-founder of the Schmiede Hallein, wanted to know more about just that. During the Salzburg state elections of 2023 he saw an opportunity to stress test a system. He founded the Salzburg Beer Party and pretended to run for election. The national beer party did not disappoint. An intervention that finally found its way in front of the judge. Paul wants to discuss his experiences and surprises and spans an arc from Valie Export to Klimakleber:innen. The guest list is in progress and will be announced after the court situation is sattled.
