To Live Your Own Life
Have you ever felt like there's a part of your life you couldn't bring yourself to talk about? I certainly have. For the longest time, I lacked the courage to even think about it. Then, one day, I made a choice. I decided it was time to turn the page, to start a new chapter. And to do that, I realized I needed to leave the past behind and share my story. It's not always easy, but taking that step has been a crucial part of starting afresh.

VIRTUAL EXHIBITION: UN:IMAGINABLE
In the 1990s, the conflicts in Rwanda and the Balkans shocked the world. The cultural backgrounds of these conflicts are different, and yet they have a lot in common: apart from the temporal parallels, both pursued a policy of segregation and division that ended in tragic events that culminated in genocide. Their traces are still woven into societies today; Testimonies and memories endure.

VIDEO: Israel, Palestine, Germany and the Doppelgänger Effect
In this conversation, Naomi Klein together with other members of US-based Jewish Voice For Peace will join us for an exploration of the ways Israeli ethnonationalism is a double of the European nationalism that oppressed Jews, the dangers of a specific kind of trauma-forged identity politics as they play out in Israel, and efforts to combat the crackdown on arts and free speech in North America.

"Me and you we need."
It has been scientifically proven that experiences of racism lead to more stress hormones. Racism also has the power to distract those affected from life. This raises the question of what forms of healing are there and what can art do for them?

Balconies
Balcony is an urban-ecological art project that opens up a virtual land without borders in the social media space. Photographs of balcony mini-ecosystems are automatically compiled online by citizen scientists to form a kind of map that can be stepped through by scrolling. In this way we visually create a more uniform feeling of togetherness without borders from the current focus of "social distancing".
