Anarchic Animism
The program at the urban art space under the direction of the new curator Kalas Liebfried is organized into thematic blocks, known as Currents, which each last about six months.
"Animism has infused things with spirit, while industrialism has objectified souls." - Theodor W. Adorno / Max Horkheimer, Dialectic of Enlightenment.
The first phase, titled "Anarchic Animism," combines the principles of anarchism with animistic worldviews and offers a radical critique of hierarchical power structures and anthropocentric thinking. It questions the dominance of humans over nature and advocates for egalitarian relationships among all beings--human, non-human, and more-than-human.
