Lebanese director Rabih Mroué and other guests discuss the challenges of global art production in conversation with Milo Rau. Can there be a global art? Where does a global approach (such as Schlingensief's Opera Village or Milo Rau's Orest in Mossul) tip over into neo-colonial formations of a self-righteous, Eurocentric concept of art? How can artists use their privileged position for global solidarity? Artistic strategies can frame already existing activism and (thereby) make it more visible. And yet the preconditions and realisation of global solidarity are always contradictory: who brings in the relevant (experiential) knowledge? Whose struggle is at stake and how can it be supported? Who uses and who benefits from the images of artistic interventions?
