Carinthian cultural bird gives prices: art promotes community spirit!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - The Carinthian cultural bird was awarded on January 11, 2025 - an award from the association to stimulate the dramatic appetite (VADA). This honor has been rewarding people who are remarkable in art and cultural promotion since 2017. The Carinthian state government, represented by the deputy governor Gaby Schaunig, was present, which emphasized the important role of art and culture for social life.

The award ceremony, organized by Yulia Izmaylova and musically framed by the band "Intalterwerker", offered a special trophy this year, which was designed by Gernot Fischer-Kondratovch and is dedicated to the American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. In addition to Erich Pachler, Felix Strasser was also entrusted with the award ceremony. Among other things, this award addresses the current challenges in the art world, especially how artists can preserve and express their cultural identity. In the context of an increasingly globalized world, art requires a reflective examination of the topics of culture and identity, as is explained in another article by Das Knowledge . Here the question is dealt with how cultural identities come into its own in artistic work, especially in view of the influence of social media and digital communication.

In contemporary art, the linking of culture and identity is no longer a border issue. Artists actively deal with their cultural roots and reflect on the influence of globalization and migration in their works. This view promotes an intercultural dialogue that is of crucial importance for understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity.
