The Arts of Resistance constitutes a collaborative and intergenerational artistic research inquiry
into the historical and contemporary (artistic) means of resistance against fascism, initiated by Ruth Anderwald and Leonhard
Grond as part of their long-term engagement with the topic. This action research project aims to uncover links between historical,
cultural, social, political, and physical ecologies of resistance against Fascisms employing a co-creative approach within
an international exchange format. Based on Umberto Eco’s text, “Ur-fascism” (1995), questions of Europe as a peace project,
European identity, and resistance against fascism, past and present, were explored and then co-creatively transformed into
works of art.
