Olga Feger – Questions

Which topic turns up again and again in your artistic activities?

My work as an artist usually deals with socio-politically relevant topics. My latest activity addressed power, power structures and handling any type of otherness, as well as the issue of what we ourselves refer to as “normal”, and how absurd this can appear to be from another perspective.

What do you seek to achieve with your arts education activities?

Arts education activities open different doors for each individual. Doors to oneself, to handling oneself, others and society. With my arts education activities, I seek to encourage people to open up new spaces for themselves and others and try themselves out in them. I want to create a place in which one can deal with a wide range of questions, shift perspectives and further develop as an individual.

What, in your view, is the essence of an artistic intervention in arts education?

To me, an artistic intervention in education features a creative moment. Empowering oneself, developing one’s own creative skills and effecting a self-defined transformation process. I regard artistic intervention as a moment of freedom in which I can newly discover and position myself in relation to myself, the other and the world.
