What was the opinion of the artists of Eastern Europe towards the civil rights activist Angela Davis? Did the activist fulfil the hopes of the artists? And to what extent were they able to use Angela Davis' image for their own purposes? Art historian Dr. Kata Krasznahorkai is also investigating this question in her research project and is therefore talking to artists of the time – for example, members of the Orfeo Group, who tried to reform communism from the left.
