Since the racist attacks of February 2020 in Hanau, bereaved families, survivors, and their supporters have created various forms of remembrance in the urban fabric. Their struggle for resolution, justice, and accountability has been expressed through memorials, demonstrations, events, posters, and videos. As in similar instances, the work of memory culture is led by actors from civil society, thus forming a continuity with other struggles over memory politics in postwar Germany. 

How does our memory change, how can it change, and how do urban societies change as a result? At this event, such questions will be discussed with the artists Ulf Aminde and Katharina Pelosi, whose work addresses questions of memory politics and who have supported the efforts of the February 19 Hanau Initiative since the racist attacks of February 2020.

With Ulf Aminde, Katharina Pelosi, and members of the February 19 Hanau Initiative
