Karma Ltd. Extended presents DO WE NEED A LEFT-WING POPULISM? the fifth chapter of the curatorial collaboration at Acud Galerie. With Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Leon Kahane, Margarita Tsomou, Raul Walch, Wermke/Leinkauf and many others.
Karma Ltd. Extended is a curatorial collaboration between Pauline Doutreluingne and Petra Poelzl that refers to the connections and effects of the digital transformation on the political, social, ecological and economic living conditions of the present. It puts the human imagination centerfold by focusing on artistic narratives about future possibilities of coexistence. In their research, the curators search for artistic trajectories and visions that broaden our senses for unexpected fantasies. They focus on the acting subject and design a wide variety of counter-perspectives and alternatives. Karma Ltd. Extended is political, poetic, performative, intersectional-feminist, experimental and much more.
“Brauchen wir einen linken Populismus?“ (Do We Need Left-Wing Populism?) is the fifth chapter of the curatorial collaboration Karma Ltd. Extended, which aims to create counter-images in the prevailing social and political impotence. While the right-wing populist are on the rise in Europe, the Belgian political scientist Chantal Mouffe claims in a newspaper interview: We need a left-wing populism! For Mouffe, the challenge of a strengthened Left-Wing Populism consists mainly in the establishment of a collective will and the establishment of a chain of equivalence between different sectors such as civil rights and feminism: There needs to be a reconstruction of A People. But would a Left-Wing Populism be an adequate alternative to the current critical point of the situation in Europe? How can new political alternatives be conceived at a time when the call for backwards politics seems louder than ever? How has Europe become so open to contemporary right-wing populism? And what conclusions from history must be drawn to break up these right/left dichotomies?
