Schedule European Summer University 2022

After viewing the exhibits, the participants will select posters that will then be analysed and discussed according to various points of view.

Artists respond to deficits and conflicts in society by showing alternatives. Through the subversive and ironic activities of artists, art can support political ideas. Political events and government decisions are almost always accompanied by public resistance. The controversial legal provisions in international treaties such as CETA, ACTA, TTIP or meetings of the G7 countries and climate summits brought thousands of people onto the streets. There are always waves of protest because politics and business want to impose their decisions on citizens. In order to make a certain problem visible, political campaigns are regularly carried out by activists or non-governmental organisations. Artists create posters, leaflets, stickers or organise events on behalf of, or on their own, initiative, the motives of which are to present certain values to the public.
Examples from the protests in Poland:
From the inscription "Konstytucja" (Constitution) on Luka Rayski's poster, the characters "You" in white and "I" in red stand out. The poster became a symbol of protests to defend justice.
