Cultural History Hatje Cantz Verlag | Steirischer Herbst ’22

The Full-Fledged Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Is A Wake-Up Call. There Is No Way To Ignore The Deep Seismic Waves It Has Spread Beyond The Region And Throughout The World; Its Impact Will Be Epoch-Making And Global. A War In The Distance, The 2022 Edition Of Steirischer Herbst, Looked At What Russia’S War Of Aggression Might Mean In A Postfascist, Postimperial, Neoliberal Europe. Combining Essays And Shorter Literary Texts, The Festival’S Reader Delves Into The Histories It Activates, And The Futures It Might Decide.

Every Year For A Month, Steirischer Herbst, One Of The Oldest Interdisciplinary Festivals Of Contemporary Art In Europe, Turns The City Of Graz And The Province Of Styria In Austria Into A Parcours Of Installative And Performative Works. Since 1968, The Festival Has Offered A Platform For Public Debates, Critical Positions, And Dialogues Between The Arts.
