As part of “Memory Matters: IMPORT/EXPORT – ERINNERN” in Nuremberg from 14th-16th June 2024, scientists, artists, journalists and activists from a wide range of communities took part in panels, workshops, performances and other formats in search of a new approach to hidden aspects of memory.
On Saturday, 15 June 2024, artist Nina Prader from the CPPD network invited participants to share personal and collective memories in the interactive game and workshop “MemoryGames”. By using designed card sets, the stories told by the workshop participants created a living archive that was used as a mediation tool to commemorate the Shoah and to raise awareness on issues of history, identity, positioning, flight, asylum, exile and migration.
On Sunday, 16 June 2024, democracy trainer and CPPD member Vatan Ukaj led the workshop “Encounters in plural memory”. In this workshop, remembrance work was approached by working with body and movement.
The panel “Languages of Remembrance | Languages of Forgetting” consisted of members of the CPPD network. Max Czollek, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Prof Dr Frederek Musall and Hannan Salamat took part in the discussion and examined different aspects of remembering. The event was moderated by Benjamin Fischer.
A special highlight of IMPORT/EXPORT: ERINNERN was the CPPD’s Dynamic Memory Lab. The exhibition “Codes of Memory in Sinti* and Roma* Communities”, curated by Hamze Bytyçi, has been updated and expanded to include regional perspectives on Roma* and Sinti*. The Dynamic Memory Lab and the exhibition were open to visitors in the foyer of the Schauspielhaus of the Nuremberg State Theatre until the end of June 2024.
The event was a cooperation between the Coalition for Pluralistic Public Discourse and the Nuremberg State Theatre.
