Sinopsis

On the potential regeneration of democracy: how artists can work toward a sense of collective relevance required to face the future’s dark challenges.

The Oracle names and honors the symbolic place from where all beings wonder about the course of life. Because we care about tomorrow, we should assume we care about staying alive, about a world in peaceful coexistence. Times of increasing insecurity and the experience of living in a world that refuses to acknowledge our needs give rise to various forms of escapism and misguided decision-making. Searching for big answers and expecting significant movements capable of undoing the damage of wars and dark forces seems unrealistic. Art assumes the existence of a tiny but meaningful spot from which to dream and demand freedom and peace. The Oracle is about this spot.

The Oracle has been published on the occasion of the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts.
