FRIENDLY REMINDER: Global Fascisms

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

Global Fascisms 
Exhibition
13 September –7 December 
Opening 12 September, 18:00

We cordially invite you to our press preview on 12 September, at 11:00. Please register at: presse@hkw.de

The exhibition Global Fascisms critically examines the aesthetic, social, and political dynamics of fascism, questioning its appeal and ideological mechanisms. A key aim is to understand fascism not only as a historical phenomenon, but also as an ongoing global threat that transcends its historically confined definition, manifesting in diverse political, cultural, and social contexts today. Focusing on the historical and contemporary contexts in which far-right ideologies thrive, the exhibition interrogates contested notions such as  ‘identity’, ‘community’, and ‘belonging’.

The exhibition brings together works by around fifty international artists who respond to the rise of fascist ideologies through a variety of media, including painting, film, performance, discourse, publications, and digital formats. Historical artworks complement the group exhibition, creating surprising connections between past and present.
