Dagesh | Rückblick: Dagesh-Netzwerktreffen anlässlich der Buchpremiere von Anna Schapiro
The workshop ‘Networking Meet-Up on Plural Remembrance Culture’ took place on 10 November 2023 in the Brunnenpassage, Labor transkultureller Kunst in Vienna. The event was a collaboration of the Brunnenpassage with the Schauspielhaus Wien and the Coalition for Pluralistic Public Discourse (CPPD).
As a working conference, it facilitated exchange among people who are engaged with forms of plural remembrance in a professional context within the fields of journalism, art, academics, social work, and activism. Following an introduction and presentation of the actors represented, table discussions took place covering four topic areas: ‘Art and cultural events’, ‘Educational work and institutions’, ‘Public remembrance – urban space and social media’, and ‘Discourse in academia and the media’.
The networking meet-up was moderated by Hannan Salamat from the CPPD network. Elisabeth Bernroitner and Zuzana Ernst (Brunnenpassage) as well as Nina Prader (Lady Liberty Press, CPPD) and Tobias Herzberg (Schauspielhaus Wien, CPPD) served as hosts. We would like to thank all those involved for this successful networking meet-up and for the collaboration on a plural culture of remembrance!

“Historical responsibility cannot be voted away.” With these words, the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation called on the federal and state governments last Sunday to legally safeguard the independence of memorial sites – particularly in Saxony-Anhalt – by: through funding structures that ensure these institutions remain operational even in the event of a politically motivated withdrawal of state funding; through the targeted involvement of smaller memorial sites and local initiatives; and through the expansion of existing networks for joint educational work, legal advice and public support in the event of attacks on the institutions and their staff.
