“Purim Prism Between Appearance and Being. Transformation and Revelation as Artistic Practice”

Purim – the Jewish festival of self-assertion and liberation – celebrates the transformative power of masquerade and revelation. Drawing on this tradition, the evening explores the interplay between concealing and revealing, between self-staging and self-denial. Purim becomes a prism through which to interrogate masquerade, reflection, and contradictory realities in the present.

The format combines a showcase of works, a panel discussion, and a live performance, followed by a Purim party at the synagogue. Dagesh artists present works from literature, painting, photography, film, and performance that take up central motifs of Purim: When do masks become protection or self-revelation? When does disguise enable liberation, and when does it become pretence?

“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.
