Richtung22 is a collective of young artists producing satirical films and theatre plays. Creative criticism is also being issued through monuments, artistic actions and campaigns, a radio show and several smaller initiatives, always with the main goal of launching important discussions. Through these methods, the collective wants to shed light on existing problems and tries to sever art from its elitist ties.
