As part of the HKW takeover, 'The Possibility of Irrationality', Prof. Dr. Christian Schertz and Jan Böhmermann — two key figures in the fields of artistic freedom, personal rights, and public provocation — will come together.
The discussion, titled 'What is permissible in satire?', explores the boundaries and possibilities of satirical forms of expression in the digital age, considering the interplay between legal frameworks, social responsibility, and artistic autonomy.
The starting point is the relationship between individual dignity and the collective ability to think critically in an increasingly polarised public sphere.
Rather than providing a final assessment, the discussion aims to encourage a nuanced debate on the role of the media, the dynamics of scandalisation, and the tension between law and irrationality.
