This was the GLOBART Academy in the Parliament
We celebrate the constitution! Eight hours of art and critique in the Austrian Parliament.
Not only the current corona-crisis has shown that the conception of western (nationally defined, representative) democracy is pushed to its limits when it comes to facing global challenges. The democratic space is no longer considered as having competence – only experts and lobbyists are.
How can we stop the erosion of western democracy? Which counter-conceptions can be imagined supporting more instead of less democracy? On the occasion of the Austrian constitution’s 100th anniversary, artists and scholars present perspectives on the future of democracy. Visions and ideas are given a voice: is there any place better than the parliament for doing so?
On October 28th, this committed debate on civil social activity, including citizen participation and empowerment, leads GLOBART into the Austrian Parliament. We want to celebrate the constitution and lead it into the next century: it is time for an update.
The event will be broadcast live by OKTO. You can find the link for the livestream via www.okto.tv/de/tv/.
We want to thank our cooperation partners OKTO, weitblick GmbH, and the Austrian Parliament as well as our supporters, the Department of Art & Culture of the Lower Austrian Government, the Cultural Department of the City of Vienna (MA 7), the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology, and Vöslauer.
