“Being against things and protesting is not enough for us artists, we create things.”
– Anna Krenz, #DNL35, June 2025

At Shadows of Illiberalism, Anna reminded us that resistance through art goes beyond critique. It's about building, imagining, and creating new futures.

A heartfelt thank you to all who participated in our Shadows of Illiberalism conference.
Over the course of three days, we explored how the radical right operates through cultural, technological, and political channels – and how resistance is built through solidarity, transparency, and care.
We’re grateful to our speakers, partners, and audience for making this event a success. More reflections and documentation will follow soon.
