Diversity and the framework conditions of artistic work
The panel discussion takes place within the framework of the IGBK annual project visual artists | diverse conditions. With this project, the IGBK, against the background of its involvement in the IAA Europe, is examining the conditions of artistic work in Europe from the perspective of diversity.
What impact do characteristics such as age, gender, origin/language and geographical location (or place of residence) have on the work of visual artists in addition to country-specific cultural policy, art policy and socio-political conditions? To what extent is the presence or absence of diversity structures noticeable in institutions, i.e. also in artists' associations? With this in mind, artistic positions are to be included in the discussion round on 8 June.
Valentina Karga is currently working on questioning the concept of the "self" by proposing non-anthropocentric narratives of the future. She wants to expand the diversity discussion to include the perspective of neurodiversity.
In her artistic work, Anike Joyce Sadiq "consistently reconsiders the extent to which social dynamics, intersectionality, and perspectives of difference are negotiated within institutional structures” (excerpt exhibition text „Mit Glück hat es nichts zu tun“).

The exhibition Wenn das Licht ausgeht („When The Light Goes Out“) (Ute Bartel | Isabel Kerkermeier | Ulrike Kessl | Johannes Sandberger) is presented at the Deutscher Künstlerbund at the time of the event. The exhibition can be visited before and after the talk.
