Aesthetics of Resistance - Part I
7 a.m. PST (San Francisco, UTC -8) / 10 a.m. EST (New York, UTC -5) / 3 p.m. GMT (London, UTC +0) / 4 p.m. CET (Berlin, UTC +1)

As activists and artists, Edouard Louis, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie and Milo Rau discuss the possibilities and contradictions of engaged art in three short podcasts. What role do documentation and truth play in the face of an unbounded conception of art? Should art merely depict reality - or change it? Is art conceivable as a hermetic space - or deeply enmeshed in social events? How can art contribute to strategies of resistance?

In the first conversation, especially the contradictions of the bourgeois representation regime and the distribution logics of the artistic field are problematised. The transcribed conversation will be published as a book by "Arche Editeurs" and is the basis for a production by Milo Rau together with Édouard Louis.
