On 11 January 2017, her exhibition “Strong in Hope” opened at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Berlin. The exhibition formed part of the wider project “Strong in Hope – Visions of the Future for a New ‘We’”, which brought together around 100 pioneers from Germany and Austria to develop visions of the future for a new ‘We’.
It is precisely in times of momentous upheaval that art, through its openness and independence, can serve as an important guide to new challenges. Artistic discourse – as Beate Winkler’s work illustrates so beautifully – is not merely a critique of the present or social opposition, but a potent, existential force in general. The less it is reduced to a functional role, the more it can serve as a sensory guide and compass for understanding society.
