GLOBArt Academy 2011 / Im Sinne der Freiheit (In the Spirit of Freedom)

Freedom has many names, ideas, longings and realities. The longing for freedom is worldwide. Since the French Revolution at the latest, people all over the world have been fighting for it. How eagerly freedom is awaited, what it can unleash and how it is lived in reality, we learn almost hourly from the media. But what if we suddenly had all these freedoms? Could we handle them? Don't we gladly give up freedoms to avoid responsibility? Don't we surrender many freedoms for the sake of security? The 150th birthday of Rudolf Steiner, the 90th birthday of Joseph Beuys and the 40th anniversary of Amnesty International in Austria are important occasions to take up their ideas and innovations on this theme. They continue to inspire people from many disciplines all over the world. GLOBArt therefore invited fascinating people from very different fields – including Auma Obama, Gerald Häfner, Walter Kugler, Freda Meissner-Blau, Herbert Dreiseitl, Karim El-Gawhary, Bettina Wanschura, Götz W. Werner and Doron Rabinovici – to tell their stories of freedom.
