Kommentar/Beschreibung

Social Justice, both as a conceptual term and (im)material demand, has been critically affected by the turbulent changes and sociopolitical ruptures in late neo-liberal capitalist societies. Currently, it has gained momentum and stands as a buzzword to a whole range of disciplines: from educational and civic policy, to public memory/history studies, visual art, up to a constant demand of new social movements. In this Seminar, apart, apart from fundamental conceptualizations of the term, we will discuss and reflect on various angles of social justice through selected case studies: from museum exhibitions/artefacts to various facets of visual art opting for social justice, anti-racism and anti-discrimination struggles to critical pedagogical work/ethics towards societal transformation, inclusion, multi-vocality in museum work. Moreover, we will focus on questions such as :

• Is there a room for intervention and work towards social justice within a museum educational and visual art context?
• How do historical/memory sites produce and present alternative 'readings' or aspects of so called 'bottom-up' history, striving for social justice and transformation?
• Which are the involved official and unofficial actors in this knowledge and hybrid art production and subsequent forms of archives?
• How do grassroots initiatives/social movements produce, safeguard and disseminate such knowledge, memory and artistic work?
