What is the relationship between art and society, or art and social conflicts? Without societal resonance, there is no art, and conversely, without an artistic voice, society remains voiceless. Friedrich Schiller articulated this idea as early as the late 18th century: Through beauty to freedom.
This question, among others, accompanied Thomas Kilpper when he traveled to the Israeli-occupied territories of Palestine in 2003 at the invitation of the Goethe Institute. For two months, he worked there with young people to create a public art project that challenged the regime of curfews, military operations, and terrorist attacks. Despite numerous reservations and restrictions, the project was an attempt to create beauty out of destruction – an act of social resistance and a gesture of solidarity with the people on the ground.
