The exhibition "Never again and now" in the Bärenzwinger Berlin, which will open on May 8, 2024, deals with political border phenomena, especially right -wing extremism and fascist ideologies as well as the difficult handling of the legacy of National Socialism today.

Laura Fiorio, born in 1985 and based in Berlin, uses photography, installation and research to explore how to deal with the Nazi past in families.
