Opera Aperta: Art, Education and Democracy

Curated by Ruth Mateus-Berr and Pia Scharler from the University of Applied Arts Vienna, 'Opera Aperta' is a collection of artist talks, performances and workshops in collaboration with Georg Russegger from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and streamed by the oldest daily newspaper in the world: The Wiener Zeitung.

The spatial installation 'Intra-Actions. Existence is not an individual matter' at Palazzo Mora is the contribution of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Department: Center for Didactics of Art and Interdisciplinary Education, to the contemporary art exhibition Personal Structures 2022, curated by the European Cultural Center. Along with this installation, a broad additional programme was developed that will consist of panel discussions hosting interdisciplinary experts and artefacts to present, discuss and reflect. These streams will take place at Palazzo Michiel and online. The first topic for the 26th of April will be "Art, Education and Democracy".

The panel is dedicated to the multi-perspectivity of contemporary art and the constructivism of education as an attribute of democracy. The aim is to reflect on the meaning of art and education in so-called post-democratic times.
