Three Doors – Roundtable on the aesthetic refractions of the NSU Complex
12/10/2024 @ 14:30 - 17:00
Speakers: Başak Ertür, Banu Karaca, Ayşe Güleç, Natascha Sadr Haghighian (with a contribution by Meltem Ahıska)
Saturday, October 12, 14:30
The National Socialist Underground (Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund, NSU, a German neo-Nazi terror group) murdered nine people of immigrant origin and a police officer in Germany between 2000 and 2007, and carried out several bombings and bank robberies. How did the NSU remain undetected for years despite the numerous intelligence informants lurking around and within the organisation? This question requires analysing not only extra-legal state activities, but also regimes of perception and the senses, namely the field of aesthetics, as well as spatial politics and memory practices. The roundtable will be led by Başak Ertür, an academic from the Goldsmiths Centre for Research Architecture, Banu Karaca, an academic who directs the research project Beyond Restitution at Forum Transregionale Studien, and two organisers of the Tribunal: Unraveling the NSU Complex, Ayşe Güleç, a curator and educator from Kassel, and Berlin-based artist Natascha Sadr Haghighian.
The event will be held in Turkish and English with simultaneous translation and registration is not required to participate.
