The art of remembering: commemoration of the November pogroms 1938
Memory in Berlin! On Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. , the pyramid in Riesaer Straße 94 becomes the setting for an extraordinary event: "The art of memory". District Mayor Nadja Zivkovic and district councilor Stefan Bley call to remember the November pogroms from 1938 - a dark chapter in German history that must never be forgotten!
With a lot of passion and creativity, the Swiss artist Desa will give her impressive speech "The Art of Remembrance". This artwork aims to dive deep into the thoughts of the memory. In addition, the pyramid is decorated with nourishing collages and powerful paintings by the artist from various creative phases, a true festival for the senses!
A look back: Alice Salomon in focus
In another dedicated speech, Prof. Esther Lehnert from the Alice Salomon University will illuminate the impressive life and work of Alice Salomon. Salomon had to emigrate from Nazi Germany in 1939-her topics are more relevant than ever today! Her heir as a humanist is newly developed through Lehnert's explanation, and she shows what important thoughts can result for our current society.
