An interview conducted by Dagmar Reichardt

Abstract

While in Venice, the 59th International Art Exposition has opened its pavilions, the Centro Tedesco di Studi Veneziani celebrated its 50th anniversary. On May 6th, 2022, during a ceremony, the chapter house of the Franciscan Confraternity of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco opened its doors with its monumental, magnificent frescoes by Tintoretto. Dagmar Reichardt spoke with the official orator, Wolfgang Welsch – a prominent German philosopher and inventor of “transculturality” — about transdisciplinarity, the role of media, ecology, politics, and art during the era of late postmodernism.
