The Arts of Resistance constitutes a collaborative and intergenerational artistic research inquiry
into the historical and contemporary (artistic) means of resistance against fascism, initiated by Ruth Anderwald and Leonhard
Grond as part of their long-term engagement with the topic.
This action
research project aims to uncover links between historical, cultural, social, political, and physical ecologies of resistance
against Fascisms employing a co-creative approach within an international exchange format. Based on Umberto Eco’s text, “Ur-fascism”
(1995), questions of Europe as a peace project, European identity, and resistance against fascism, past and present, were
explored and then co-creatively transformed into works of art.
