To mark the conclusion of the RESIST! project, Uferstudio 14 will become the venue for a special gathering: artists involved in the project, guests and the public will come together to highlight the power of social alliances and their resilience. In the face of funding cuts, political pressure and a world where regressive and conservative trends are the order of the day, we want to make it clear: the independent arts scene will not be pushed aside. We resist – together – and demonstrate how vital art and culture are to a free society.

RESIST! is a project that provides thirteen artists with a rehearsal space, a space for practice, exchange and discourse over two and a half months – almost unconditionally and without performance requirements. For artistic creation needs more than pressure and urgency: it needs opportunities for connection, fertile ground and also moments of pause in order to grow and survive continuously.

The evening begins with a discussion on the topic of new forms of fascism, resistance and solidarity. Following this, various artists will present excerpts from their work, short interventions, calls to action and much more.

At the end, Studio 14 will transform into a dance floor – because dancing together and creating physical connections sends a message against isolation and thus becomes a form of resistance in itself. Music by DJ Nomi.

The detailed programme for the evening will be published here at the end of April.
