Gegenwartsbewältigung in Erinnerung
Zum künstlerischen Arbeiten mit Zeugnissen des Nationalsozialismus
Coming to terms with the present through memory. About working artistically with testimonials from the Nazi period.
This publication was created as part of the project Widerständige_Beziehungen (relationships of resistance) conducted by the Institute with the Ravensbrück Memorial Centre between 2015-2017. The project took as its starting point gifts that women had given to each other who were imprisoned in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. The project developed performances in public spaces as well as new methods of political education through participatory creative work. The texts address various aspects of how to base contemporary artistic or educational work on testimonials of National Socialism, with contributions by by Kai Jahns and Max Czollek.
