steirischer herbst '24

What does nation mean today? How do myths, identity, and heritage shape our society? Steirischer herbst '24 explored precisely these questions-radically, playfully, and profoundly. The central exhibition transformed the Neue Galerie Graz into an imaginary museum of national complexes and dark fantasies, while performances, installations, and the renowned herbstkabarett examined the theme from multiple perspectives.

This richly illustrated publication documents the 57th edition of the festival and brings together essays by leading thinkers on nationalism, collective memory, and the horrors hidden within the narratives of a "fatherland." A must-read for art and culture enthusiasts, capturing the pulse of our time.
