The Prodigy, 1996
Guest lecture by Esther Straganz,
hosted by the department TransArts
Esther Straganz' artistic practice unfolds most effectively in collective
contexts. From Girls on Horses—an artist collective that explored socio-political performances and their resonance in society—to
the Burschenschaft Hysteria, Straganz prefers to develop provocative narratives that take shape in exhibitions, festivals,
and protest actions.
In this lecture, Esther Straganz takes us into the world behind selected
projects and offers suggestions on how to form a gang, how to become one together, and why music is important in this process.
Esther Straganz's interdisciplinary practice combines visual communication with performative and
collaborative approaches.
In her work, which moves at the intersection of art and design, she addresses the themes of the
body, language, queerness, and anti-fascism.
