Contemporary art, as well as our society in general, is - according to the diagnosis of the interdisciplinary art festival steirischer herbst '21 - in a dead end. The Way Out of... features texts by international contributors to the festival's discussion program that outlines ways out of the white cube, failed political art, and an unrestrained digital capitalism, and shows new paths for climate justice, a more critical race theory, and new activists. Accessible and pointedly written, this reader offers rich food for thought on the multiple crises of our times.
