The title of the exhibition "Do you have something to fight for?" refers to the artistic intervention of the same name by Polina Stohnushko (born 1994 in Kiev), which she places in the public space as a contribution to the exhibition. It can be read as a question, but also as an invitation to get involved in society and play a creative role.

The exhibition comprises a mixture of photography, painting, video art and installations. Some of the works come from the foundation's extensive collection, which are presented in dialog with contemporary positions by (former) art scholarship holders of the foundation and in collaboration with Künstlerhaus Bethanien.

The two-part exhibition provides an in-depth artistic look at the themes that characterize the historical and current work of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. It reflects the social democratic values of freedom, equality and solidarity in a special way. It is about the workers' struggle for a better life and co-determination, about strengthening democracy and the question of how we want to shape a future worth living for future generations and for everyone equally.
