Duckrabbits Talk Back

If we want to build antifascist movements today, the question (and critique) of intersectionality is crucial. How to hold together a movement with different people, in different places, who address different forms of violence and fight different forms of fascism? How can we build infrastructures of solidarity in or with art? With us in the studio to discuss these questions, are three wonderful gue...

What is really political art? What is the relation between art and hegemony? And how to be an uncompromising antifascist in a complex, multipolar world?

What is to be done when authoritarianism is not simply a blast from the past, but mutates through AI slop, fossil infrastructures, culture wars, and flexible realities? What happens when time collapses and fascists wage war on truth itself? What is the role of artists and postartists facing this conundrum? Should their work become more operational, or rather radically inoperative? And do we need c...

Duckrabbits — those wonderfully ambivalent creatures that can be seen as ducks or rabbits, or both at once — guide us through the tangled web of contemporary theory, postartistic...
