Created by Diana Arce, Politaoke is a natural progression in her work as an artist, filmmaker and activist, who is interested in using artistic methods as a platform to engage in political and cultural critique and commentary in the public realm. Much of her work stems not only from her personal experience, but also from contemporary politics, economics and news. She is also notorious for her prize-winning karaoke performance at Pan Am Lounge in Berlin.
Politaoke stems from a semester of research into the political discourse of contemporary politics. After organizing the the first German/English version of Politaoke in a Bar in Weimar on January 30, she decided to expand and take the project on the road because of the 2008 elections.
