Notes
Limited number of participants
„Sag mir, wo deine Arme liegen und wann“ is a requiem in the form of a poem – because only through poetry can we come closest to the song and to the end of the world in its entirety.
The event is accompanied musically by Tayfun Guttstadt, whose compositions sensually explore questions of cultural origin and multiple belonging.
The Initiative 19. Februar Hanau is an association of relatives, survivors, and supporters formed after the racist attack in Hanau on February 19, 2020. It advocates for remembrance, justice, full transparency, and political consequences against racist violence. To this end, the initiative develops exhibitions such as its collaborative project with Forensic Architecture, as well as a wide range of political campaigns and interventions.
A cooperation between Initiative 19. Februar Hanau and SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT, funded by the Crespo Foundation.
