Miriam Schickler: Geteilte Welten

Workshop: Geteilte Welten

Multisensory interdependencies in memorial landscapes

Sun 12.01., 10h, TQW Studios, in English

"Geteilte Welten" is a multisensory intervention in the memorial landscapes of the Berlin Tiergarten. The project intentionally jumbles up the various Holocaust monuments and other public sites in their manifold interdependencies, thereby linking (hi)stories of the Third Reich with (hi)stories of colonialism and migration. Through the interplay of different forms of knowledge and perception, "Geteilte Welten (Shared/Divided Worlds)" creates new approaches for communal remembrance and grief.

The workshop explores ways to correlate different (hi)stories of violence in a non-competitive, non-hierarchical way. Can embodied multisensory approaches break through such thoroughly solidified, disconnected narratives?
