Truth is concrete: A 24/7 marathon camp on artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art

'Truth is concrete' takes the possibility of concrete truth as a working hypothesis and looks for direct action, for concrete change and knowledge. For an art that not only represents and documents, but that engages in specific political and social situations – and for an activism that not only acts for the sake of acting but searches for intelligent, creative means of self-empowerment: artistic strategies and tactics in politics, political strategies and tactics in art.
