What role did civil rights activist Angela Davis play for art and art history in Eastern Europe in the 1970s? Art historian Dr. Kata Krasznahorkai is investigating this question in her research, looking at files of the state security authorities, among other things. In the concluding general interview of the video series, the researcher talks about the challenges of the project and what fascinates her about the subject - but also reflects on how successful the campaign was, to what extent it still has an impact today and what the icon Angela Davis stood for.
