ADVICE OF THE MANY: Action against right-wing extremism

Workshops, Panels, Working Groups

Die Vielen

In view of the latest election results, how can the many of us actively work together against right-wing extremism? What options for action do the arts and the constitutional state have, what impetus can culture provide and how can we as a society deal with the fact that some people are no longer merely metaphorically sitting on packed suitcases? These questions are urgent and pressing - because it is not only democracy and its culture that are vulnerable, but also the people who shape it.

In light of the current right-wing extremist election successes and the anti-democratic developments of recent years, in the face of hatred, violence and new right-wing hegemonic strategies, the Ratschlag der Vielen (Advice of the Many) is therefore discussing options for action and the responsibility of society, politics, culture and the arts: what freedoms does this society need, but also what forms of protection and what bans?

The spectrum of the event ranges from precise position statements on the current situation, to questions of defensive, argumentative democracy and strong alliances, as well as social power and the freedom of the arts, to the current, controversial discussion of options for action such as a possible party ban.

The Ratschlag der Vielen creates a space to spend a day discussing these issues together, exchanging expertise, making connections and producing knowledge for action. In keynote speeches, discussions and working groups, THE Many will consult as MANY. Artists, politicians, academics and activists will not only have their say, but will also work together to find answers to the question of how the future of democracy can remain actively open.
