What makes an impact are contradictory aspects which crisscross inside and outside.

Interviewee: Nora Sternfeld

In the cultural field there is a classical tendency to reproduce bourgeois culture and elitism. And that moves me to think that if I don’t embrace the challenge of solidarity-based cooperation, then I would almost automatically push ahead with this kind of reproduction. Either I understand my practice as serving solidarity, or I may as well just forget it. And there’s a second reason: I believe that these concrete struggles can take place neither only outside institutions nor within them. They take place, I think, in a contradictory manner and on the basis of very different factors. The concrete conflicts take place in the institutions both openly as well as subversively, but they are also found outside the institutions, in protests, in day-to-day resistance, etc. What makes an impact are contradictory aspects which crisscross inside and outside.
