„Do you have something to fight for?“

The 100-year his­to­ry of the Friedrich Ebert Foun­da­tion and its val­ues​of free­dom, jus­tice and sol­i­dar­i­ty are also reflect­ed in its art col­lec­tion. To mark the anniver­sary, the foun­da­tion is show­ing select­ed works in dia­logue with the posi­tions of con­tem­po­rary art schol­ar­ship hold­ers. The exhi­bi­tion will open in House 1 of the FES and in the Kün­stler­haus Bethanien from Feb­ru­ary 28^th.

The title ​“Do you have some­thing to fight for?” by Poli­na Stohnushko uses art to encour­age us to engage with social engage­ment in times of cri­sis. What issues con­tin­ue to accom­pa­ny us and what is worth fight­ing for?

The exhi­bi­tion trans­forms the diverse func­tion­al rooms of the FES into a coher­ent exhi­bi­tion course. Col­ored fields and large-scale archi­tec­tur­al ele­ments suc­ceed in skill­ful­ly link­ing the works visu­al­ly. An excit­ing dia­logue between art, space and the foun­da­tion’s val­ues emerges.
