steirischer herbst '23

Negotiating moral gray zonesIn a time of collapsing dichotomies and ethical quandaries, the 2023 edition of steirischer herbst turned to a character-driven storytelling strategy to explore how people navigate gray zones. It created a world populated by a cast of tricksters: a jazz-loving Nazi, an émigré artist, a dissident’s dissident, and a phantasmal heroine. This richly illustrated publication showcases the festival’s four group exhibitions held throughout Graz, including essays on the unusual protagonists, and documents the performances and cabaret shows.
