Jewish artists and artists critical of antisemitism at work

The picture shows the exhibition view of the first tour of the Jewish Art School. Various works of art hang on a white wall: a wall-sized collage consisting of photographs and text, two large-format, abstract paintings in shades of red and small reliefs made of polystyrene, which form another conceptual work with objects lying on the floor.
The picture shows two performers from the House of Diaspora performance series. The two pose in eye-catching, bright green outfits and wear extravagant make-up with glitter. The clothing looks avant-garde and the scene is strongly accentuated by green and red lighting.

The Institut für Neue Soziale Plastik (Institute for new social sculptures) is made up of Jewish directors, writers, producers and other artists, critical of antisemitism. Since the Institute’s foundation in 2015 we develop artistic projects from Jewish points of view that address Jewish life and heritage, as well as memorial culture and antisemitism. Another focus of our work is consultancy and training for institutions in the arts and culture, independent arts organisations, as well as freelance curators or artists on everything to do with antisemitism.

Our focus area

Antisemitism in arts and culture

Working on Jewish themes and calling out antisemitism regularly leads to antisemitic reactions – also in the arts and culture. And so, looking at antisemitism in artistic works, structures and institutions has turned into a main focus of our work at Institut für Neue Soziale Plastik.

Projects from a jewish points of view

We develop projects from Jewish points of view. In this, we often focus on Jews in the GDR, early Zionism, antisemitism in the arts, and an artistic take on Jewish traditions. Our works include performances, exhibitions and sometimes projects that draw on educational or participatory approaches.
