Explore our annual theme 2024

How is the Basic Law faring in the year of its 75th birthday? And what about its future? The annual theme “In good shape? The future of the rule of law”, places these questions at the centre of the Law Forum Foundation’s activities in 2024.

The annual programme opens with the international photo exhibition SPRAWIEDLIWOŚĆ – GERECHTIGKEIT by Polish photographer Piotr Wójcik in cooperation with Fundacja Picture Doc.

Highlights in 2023

Our annual theme for 2023, “Law and justice”, was dedicated to questions such as: Is law always just? What do people mean by justice? Who is actually in charge in a constitutional state?

Two special artistic projects centred on law and justice. In Braunschweig, our series of talks accompanying the theatre project by the directing duo KrügerXWeiß offered impulses on the central functions of court proceedings for our society. The discussions with legal experts centred on topics such as the publicity of trials and “transitional justice”.

Artist Yves Mettler and lawyer Antoine Bailleux made EU court judgements tangible with the Europaplatz (Speak Justice) project through installations in Karlsruhe’s urban space. The project was created in cooperation with the Stiftung Forum Recht and the Centre Culturel Franco Allemande.
