“Resistance requires not only critical thinking but also new aesthetic approaches. This project addresses that essential challenge.”

Ilija Trojanow, writer, translator and publisher “I would have loved to take part myself: to learn about historical fascism, to identify and recognise its current forms, and to understand how—despite our different backgrounds and strategies—we ultimately stand on the same side. At a time when frontlines are drawn in ways that are unbearably ugly and banal, it seems not only reasonable to develop an art of resistance, it might even be beautiful.”
Eva Menasse, writer

The Arts of Resistance is a collaborative, intergenerational artistic research inquiry into historical and contemporary (artistic) forms of resistance against fascism, initiated by Ruth Anderwald and Leonhard Grond as part of their long-term engagement with the subject.
