Art as a common ground. However, in reality, are the art academies in Germany accessible to all? Who feels entitled to art education? What are the criteria surrounding artistic expression? The student initiative Common Ground works on these questions for and with artists in exile. They support artists in navigating the application process and aim to open the doors of UdK Berlin to people in exile. In a joint reflection, four members look back on eight years of commitment to this cause, discussing the expectations that have been met and the challenges that remain. More information are here.
