Why Germany: Online Lecture Series

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘎𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 is an international lecture series addressing the crackdown on free speech in Germany and beyond.

Within Germany, some of the most effective actors in the intimidation of Palestinians and their allies over recent months have been cultural venues, art schools and universities.

The hostility towards advocacy for Palestinian lives has surpassed recent escalations across Europe or the USA: the lockstep is more thorough, the language more hateful, the measures more extreme.

With the help of historical perspectives and specific case studies of German art schools and universities, this series addresses the eclipse of free speech and its ramifications for local cultural landscapes, but also for neighbors and allies – not to mention for Palestine itself.

These weekly lectures are co-hosted by a network of institutions that grows over time.

By means of a rolling program, it creates a space for creative, informed and considered expression. Importantly, the series will move beyond critique alone, to propose strategies for the future: which languages, alliances, policies and support systems might ensure a measure of autonomy in the longer term?

The next 3 lectures in the series are:

• Tuesday 21 May at 6pm (CET): lecture by Noor Niefgotodien & Ulrike Kistner, hosted by University of Witwatersrand (Wits) Johannesburg, South Africa

• Tuesday 28 May at 5pm (CET): lecture by Sami Khatib, hosted by The Academy of Fine Art at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Norway

• Tuesday 4 June at 6pm (CET): lecture by Marwa Arsanios, hosted by Masters of Transdisciplinarity in the Arts at Zurich University of the Arts, Switzerland.

I must listen to the birds
and in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent.”

  • The root of your writing whilst sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not work well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but only for a short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do well to fill in those breaks. If you actually can accomplish that, I would undoubtedly be amazed.
