· 7:00 PM · Kampnagel K4
· Panel discussion with Lie Ning Julia Stolba, Miriam Coretta Schulte, and Frederik Busch
· Moderator: Dixi Glow ·
This panel explores art and activism that not only reexamine and reshape history but can also create utopias and alternative futures. What boundaries and possibilities lie hidden in this in-between world? To what extent is art that takes place in a public and political space always also activism? What can activism as art actually achieve that activism without art cannot?

Julia Stolba is an artist and art theorist. From 2021 to 2026, she conducted research for her artistic-scientific doctoral dissertation titled “The Dissociative Archive: On Partisans, Ghosts, and Affects at the Museum Peršmanhof” at the HFBK Hamburg, funded by a doctoral fellowship from the Hans Böckler Foundation, on histories of violence in archives, the transgenerational transmission of trauma, dissociative dynamics, and the significance of affects in artistic, curatorial, and art education archival work. In her conceptual, artistically-research-based explorations at the intersection of theory and practice, she works with painting installations, drawing, sound, text, and psychoanalytic concepts to create resistant feminist and anti-fascist counter-narratives to the hegemonic canon of knowledge. @julia_stolba · website
Miriam Coretta Schulte is a theater maker based in Berlin, Basel, and Cairo. In her current project “messy safety,” she develops visions for greater collective safety and fewer police. @miriam_coretta_mcshoe · website
Frederik Busch (*1974) is a media artist, author, and performer. His work is interdisciplinary in nature and encompasses photography, performance, text, and film. It is committed to a shared aesthetic-political inquiry and evolves from a clearly recognizable artistic signature. This ongoing engagement with questions of visibility, the body, and power is more important than committing to a single medium. @frederik.busch · website
Drag artist Dixi Glow has been walking the tightrope of fragile masculinities and binaries in Vienna since 2022. In April 2025, the Viennese performance artist settled in St. Pauli to now also provoke the cis-system north of the Weißwurstäquator. In addition to performances at various clubs and venues in Austria and Germany, Dixi Glow gives drag workshops, works in education and outreach at schools and renowned art institutions, and organizes their own events focusing on queer and trans* themes. @dixi.glow · linktree
