Whether Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Viktor Orbán, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Islamist terror groups, fundamentalist Christians, FPÖ or AfD – authoritarian heads of state, parties and groups throughout the world are celebrating successes.
The artist Jacques Tilly, with his internationally acclaimed large-scale sculptures, is an unyielding voice of opposition from civil society.
In a large satirical illustrated sheet, the lecture exposes the current enemies of open society and provides insight into the artist's political commitment.
Jacques Tilly
»Satire doesn't just mean hitting, mocking and hurting at any price. Satire should be characterized by an inner attitude, a canon of values, an ethnic compass.«
Jacques Tilly, born 1963, lives as an illustrator and sculptor in Düsseldorf. He cooperates with theatres, television stations and film production companies and has built several large-scale sculptures for political campaigns, including the associations of children in care, Greenpeace and Brexit opponents. Amnesty International awarded him a human rights prize for freedom of expression in 2017.
