PROJECT PRESENTATION FOR MULTIPLIERS
“When I leave my office, I enter hostile territory.” This was the view of the jurist and resistance fighter Dr. Fritz Bauer on the failed confrontation with the National Socialist unjust state. Can Bauer’s perception and positioning as a resistance fighter still provide answers to the threatening contemporary issues today and guide action in defense of democracy and human rights? We think: Yes!
Where: ko-labor | Stühmeyerstrasse 33 | 44787 Bochum
Admission: free
Registration: until Nov. 11th, 2022
This was the view of the jurist and resistance fighter Dr. Fritz Bauer on the failed confrontation with the National Socialist unjust state. Can Bauer’s perception and positioning as a resistance fighter still provide answers to the threatening contemporary issues today and serve as a guide for action in defense of democracy and human rights?
We assume: Yes! And have explored this question in our interactive research and web project, funded by the Kulturstiftung and Demokratie leben. We have processed the extensive film and source material from the Fritz Bauer Archive of the Fritz Bauer Forum in Bochum, conducted interviews and re-told the content using textual, visual and cinematic means.
The digital exhibition is intended to serve as a tool for multipliers throughout Germany to illustrate the importance of human rights and democracy to various target groups – in the past, but especially in the present. Using Fritz Bauer’s life and work as an example, it becomes clear how important it is to stand up for one’s own human rights and those of others and to resist the hostilities of democracy.
We hope that you as multipliers will be able to use the interactive website in your projects in the future. We would like to introduce the interactive website to you and invite you to explore and practice the digital exhibition together with us in a small workshop. We are eager to hear your feedback, suggestions for improvement and ideas for a practical application before the digital exhibition will be available to the general public in early 2023.
When: 21.11.2022 | 17:00 – 19:00 hrs.
Where: ko-labor | Stühmeyerstrasse 33 | 44787 Bochum, Germany
