In, auf, mit der Straße: Ungleiches Erbe im Stadtraum

7. Dezember | 18:00 | Dachetage im FHXB Museum

Straßennamen und Denkmäler prägen den öffentlichen Raum. Als Produkt politischer Entscheidungen, gesellschaftlicher Debatten und Deutungskämpfe sind sie Teil der Erinnerungskultur. Ebenso prägen sie aber auch die Vorstellung darüber, wer als Bestandteil der Gesellschaft wahrgenommen wird und wer nicht. Besonders im Kontext von politischen Umbrüchen und nicht zuletzt durch zivilgesellschaftliche Stimmen wird deutlich, dass die reale Diversität der Gesellschaft im Straßenraum nicht sichtbar ist.

Der Arbeitskreis Stadtraum vom Bündnis Decolonize Berlin e.V. hat die Namen aller Berliner Straßen und Plätze ausgewertet. Dabei stellen die Autor*innen in allen Berliner Bezirken eine fehlende geschlechtliche Parität und eine überproportionale Ehrung von antisemitischen, kolonial-rassistischen und faschistischen Personen sowie etliche Doppelbenennungen fest. Bei der Veranstaltung „In, auf, mit der Straße: Ungleiches Erbe im Stadtraum“ stellt der Arbeitskreis Stadtraum vom Bündnis Decolonize Berlin e.V. seine Recherche vor und diskutiert seine Ergebnisse insbesondere in Bezug auf Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.

 

Vortrag und Diskussion mit: Josepha Jendricke und Clara Westendorff

Moderation: Luise Fakler

An der Veranstaltung wird auch die Bezirksbürgermeisterin Clara Herrmann teilnehmen.

Eine Veranstaltung in Kooperation mit Decolonize Berlin e.V.

„Die Falle“ - ein Schattentheater von Riadh Ben Ammar mit anschließendem Gespräch

25. Januar 2024 | 18:00 - 20:00 | Dachetage im FHXB Museum

Das Theaterstück ist eine Geschichte über die geschlossene EU-Außengrenze und ihre Missverständnisse. Man kann nicht an der Küste leben, ohne die andere Seite wenigstens einmal gesehen zu haben. In Tanger, Algier oder Tunis sitzen selbst die Katzen im Hafen und schauen auf die andere Seite. Alle wollen dahin. Die meisten träumen davon. Die jungen Leute, die es schaffen in Europa zu landen, versuchen alles, um nicht wieder mit leeren Händen zurückzukehren. Doch wie geht das ohne Arbeitserlaubnis, sicheren Aufenthaltsstaus und mit der ständigen Angst, abgeschoben zu werden? Riadh Ben Ammar bringt mit seinem Schattentheater „Die Falle“ ihren Alltag auf die Bühne.

Im Anschluss an das Theaterstück besteht die Möglichkeit, Riadh Ben Ammar Fragen zu stellen. Das Gespräch wird moderiert von Hildegard Kiel, Projektmanagerin für Nord- und Ostafrika des Zentrums für internationalen Dialog der Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.

We call it Revolution. Transnational Activism in Berlin

Opening | 12 October 2023 | 6pm | FHXB Museum

Duration: 13 October 2023 - 31 March 2024

In many authoritarian-ruled countries, people are standing up for justice, freedom and radical political change - despite the violent repression they have to fear. In recent times, for example, there have been and continue to be protests in Egypt, Chile, Algeria, Sudan, Israel/Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Iran since 2011, which have brought millions of people onto the streets.

Berlin has not remained untouched by these events; the revolutionary movements are also supported from here. Especially people who fled to Berlin as a result of the repressive reactions, but also people from previous movements and their descendants shape the life of the city with their transnational activism. In public space, this can be seen in graffiti with symbols and slogans of the various revolutionary movements, in solidarity demonstrations and actions, artistic projects and research work, among other things.

What are people in Berlin who work in transnational networks for revolutionary movements fighting for? What are they demanding? What role do activists in the diaspora play for revolutionary movements? Which struggles can they connect to? And how are revolutionary events documented?

The exhibition "We Call It Revolution. Transnational Activism in Berlin" explores these questions. With documentary material, video interviews, publications and artistic works by people from political movements, the exhibition addresses aspects of transnational revolutionary movements in Berlin. The exhibition is based on conversations and workshops with activists.

Re/Assembling Anti-Racist Struggles An Open Archive

From May 22nd, 2022 Opening: May 21st, 5 pm

Anti-racist struggles and acts of resistance constitute part of the history of this country. Whether they have immigrated, were born here, or are simply passing through, people who have endured first-hand experiences of racism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of discrimination have been fighting for equality and social change for decades. For some time now, we have been working together with a range of people from East, West and reunified Germany to develop formats in which they can tell their stories of their own struggles against racism and anti-Semitism. We are working together to find and establish new ways of collecting, processing, and presenting this material.

An open archive has been established at the FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum showcasing the initial outcomes of this collaborative research. The archive comprises a collection of fragments and found objects which will be further expanded upon through workshops and with the support of visitors to the museum. This open archive is intended to become a site for debate—one that unites past experiences with contemporary debates and struggles against anti-Semitism, racism, and all other forms of discrimination.

ASSEMBLY "Bringing Together Anti-Racist Struggle"
May 19-21, 2022 at the Hebbel am Ufer (HAU) in Berlin

Fights and resistance against racism and anti-Semitism are part of the history of this country. For three days we want to take a close look at this under the motto "Collect, archive and activate anti-racist struggles": We look at movement, location and time in an assembly in workshop, exhibition and discussion formats together with activists and researchers , contemporary witnesses and artists of different generations the history of anti-racist struggles in East, West and the reunified Germany. It's not just about looking back, digging up and recording forgotten experiences that have been made invisible, but also about reactivating them for today and tomorrow.

In the workshops, the genealogies of feminist anti-racist struggles, the struggles in the former GDR against the specific forms and practices of racism there, resistance against anti-Semitism (and Holocaust denial), the refugee struggles, the struggles of Rom:nja and Sinti: ze, the fight against racial profiling, political anti-racist archiving initiatives and many other topics.

Release: Reading the Postcolonial City. Historical explorations in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg

Natalie Bayer / Mark Terkessidis (Hg.)

Although the topic of colonialism has been widely discussed recently, there are many gaps in knowledge about the colonial past and postcolonial present. This is particularly evident at the local level of the city: How did the imperialism of the German Reich, with its expansion overseas, but also into Eastern or Southeastern Europe, affect urban life? What's left of it?

“Reading the Postcolonial City” looks at the Berlin district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg as an example – looking at buildings, transport hubs, organizations, companies, cultural institutions and specific people who were connected to the imperial project but were also resistant. In the introductory essay, Natalie Bayer and Mark Terkessidis explain the theoretical starting points and the approach for urban research that does not treat colonialism as a special historical case, but rather locates it as a dynamic moment in the development of cities.
