Exhibition receives award by the Federal Agency for Civic Education in the “Active for Democracy and Tolerance” competition

The exhibition "Dangerous Border," planned in the context of the DFG research project "Image Protests in Social Media" and realized in cooperation with the Kunstverein Dresden, received an award in the competition "Active for Democracy and Tolerance." The award from the Federal Agency for Civic Education is a great success, and we are delighted!

The exhibition, curated by Tanja-Bianca Schmidt, was shown at the Kunstverein Dresden from June 6 to August 11. With Tamara Kametani, Davor Konjikušić, and the research agency Border Forensics, it brought together three artistic positions dealing with images from Europe's border zones. Their works open up a new perspective on migration: Who is allowed or able to cross borders? How are borders constituted? And what functions do the images have?

An additional program framed the exhibition's topic and offered panel discussions, book presentations, film screenings, and tours.

We would like to thank the Kunstverein Dresden's voluntary members and the supervisory staff for contributing to the exhibition's great success.
