Peter Schumann Knihy

Inspired by the work of the German painter Charlotte Salomon.

The book features selected images from The Existibility installation at T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier, Vermont, created by Peter Schumann, the founder of the Bread & Puppet Theatre. It showcases Schumann's unique artistic vision, blending visual art with themes of existence and community, reflecting his innovative approach to performance and social commentary. The collection highlights the interplay between art and activism, inviting viewers to engage with profound questions about life and society.

The book presents a vision for a societal shift towards a "possibilitarian" framework, advocating for the dismantling of the current ruling class and the adoption of sustainable alternatives to capitalism. It emphasizes the need for politics to prioritize environmental health and the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants over traditional militaristic concerns. Drawing inspiration from Robert Musil's concept of "Möglichkeitsmensch," it aims to inspire a transformative movement focused on practical solutions for a better future.
