How art and culture come into being, what knowledge, what expertise, and what time are required for this. What internal conflicts and what external conflicts it navigates. What tasks it must fulfill and which it cannot. What allows it to grow, and what stifles it. When does culture have an emancipatory power, and when does it hinder it? Which freedoms must remain untouchable, and which impositions must be permissible?
Der Streitraum is a monthly discussion event at the Schaubühne and has been moderated and curated by journalist and author Carolin Emcke since 2004.
The event invites scholars, authors, politicians, artists, and other public figures. Each season, Streitraum addresses a different topic.
