Can cultural forms, practices, discourses, interventions – including in the art field – contribute to resistance against the fascist tendency of today? What are the causes and what is constitutive of the fascist tendency in politics, social life, and even culture as such? How can cultural resistance avoid aestheticisation? These are some of the questions that inform this online event which will draw on the work of Ewa Majewska, author of Feminist Antifascism: Counterpublics of the Common (Verso 2021) and Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, author of Late Capitalist Fascism (Polity 2021).
