Beschreibung
The Substanz - Empathy, Commitment, and Outrage in and beyond Art exhibition highlights the foundations from which we emerge: our humanity, our social integration, and our will to create, thus bringing our own selves and our personal position into the world. Using an exemplary approach, the exhibition presents national and international artists and cultural advocates whose art production and/or private initiatives are social acts. Through their art and their commitment, they strive to provide knowledge and stimulate emotional processes - they want to shake people awake, provide comfort, and give hope. Some artists form communities, launch campaigns, or initiate funding projects. Others use specific artistic expressions to raise public awareness of urgent issues, enter into dialogue, or take a position themselves.
