In this workshop, we will examine antisemitism and its development, various manifestations, mechanisms of action, and visual imagery. With the knowledge we gain, we will explore possible courses of action and responses to antisemitism, particularly in the field of independent performing arts.
Antisemitism is a problem that affects society as a whole and causes considerable uncertainty for many people. Since the debate about anti-Semitic representations at Documenta 15, this has been of particular concern to those working in the cultural sector. The questions many are asking are profound: What can art say or depict, and where does anti-Semitism begin? What is still freedom of expression, artistic freedom, and what is antisemitic?
Using various methodological approaches such as situational and action training, inputs, and small group work, we learn to recognize and classify antisemitism and also deal with counterstrategies and how to deal with antisemitism in specific situations from artistic practice.
The workshop offers the opportunity to discuss specific examples and incidents from the everyday working lives of cultural professionals. You are welcome to bring your own examples!
The workshop is organized in cooperation with W3_Werkstatt für internationale Kultur und Politik e.V. (Workshop for International Culture and Politics) and conducted by speakers from the Kreuzberg Initiative Against Antisemitism - KIgA e.V.
The Kreuzberg Initiative Against Antisemitism (KIgA e.V.) has been working to combat antisemitism, racism, hatred, and intolerance for over 20 years. This multi-award-winning political education organization takes an innovative and intersectional approach to its work. Its programs are suitable for schools, adult education, and extracurricular experiences. The organization's cultural political education programs are also groundbreaking. KIgA works throughout Germany and has established the Europe-wide ENCATE network in the field of antisemitism prevention. Chairman Derviş Hızarcı and the Kreuzberg Initiative Against Antisemitism were honored with the Elie Wiesel Award in Washington in 2023. More information: www.kiga-berlin.org.
