A whole weird decade often on the edge. Grandmaster Flash And The Furious rapped in 1982 in their hook line: &#8222;Don&#8217;t push me &#8218;cause I&#8217;m close to the edge &#8211; I&#8217;m trying not to lose my head &#8211; It&#8217;s like a jungle sometimes &#8211; It makes me wonder how I keep from going under&#8220;. They bring the social criticism of the black, marginalized and oppressed population into hip-hop as proof of failed politics.<\/p>\n<p>Switch. Over four decades later. Once again, an American re-elected President Trump enters his second term. With a sense of victory that can no longer be averted, he proclaims a coming golden age of America and a return to former greatness at the expense of the poor, the weak, those who think and live differently, women and migrants. The Ampelcoalition in Germany is falling apart. War and the Cold War are already making a comeback in Europe. The world is unsafe. Propaganda and lies instead of truths. Violent intimidation as normality. The law of the strong. Fascists are warming up. Will the punished attackers of the storming of the Capitol in January 2021 soon be pardoned?<\/p>\n<p>Will the 1980s get a revival that will be even closer to the edge?<br \/>\nText: Matthias Mayer \/ Bild: Matthias Beckmann<\/p>\n<p>K\u00fcnstler*innen\/Artists:<\/p>\n<p>Boris Abel, Stefan Alber, Heather Allen, Franck-Lee Alli-Tis aka V Stylianidou, Elena Alonso Fern\u00e1ndez, Michelle Alperin, Deniz Alt, Detlef Baltrock, Gleb Bas, J\u00fcrgen Baumann, Hannah Becher, Matthias Beckmann, Thomas Behling, Antje Blumenstein, Theo Boettger, Sascha Boldt, Manuel Bonik, Gunnar Borbe, Iwona Lili Borkowska, Katja Brinkmann, Susanne Britz, Laura Bruce, Teresa Casanueva, barbara caveng, Sabatino Cersosimo, Chun-Tzu Chang, Kyung-hwa Choi-ahoi, Herbert De Colle, Ellen DeElaine, Almut Determeyer, Nanett Dietz, Nataly Dietz, Annedore Dietze, Bruno Di Lecce, Grigori Dor, Mirjam Dorsch, Stefan Draschan, Stefan Ebner, Irena Eden &amp; Stijn Lernout, Frederik Foert, Abrie Fourie, Frauke Funkhauser, Sven-Ole Frahm, Anne Gathmann, anna onno gatjal, Christine Gedeon, Laurie Georgopoulos, Robert Gfader, Monika Goetz, Kar\u00f8 Goldt, Massoud Graf-Hachempour, Harriet Gro\u00df, Stephan Gro\u00df, Andreas Hachulla, Stephanie Hanna, Andrea Hartinger, Michael Hauffen, Andreas Helfer, Thomas Bo Henriksson, Janne H\u00f6ltermann, Sabine Hoffmann \/ Collision Squad, Margret Holz, Stephan Homann, Esther Horn, Fabian Hub, Markus Huemer, Franziska H\u00fcnig, Okka Hungerb\u00fchler, Hubi W.
