Accompanying programme to the exhibition workshop: Robert Preusse and Fatoş Tuna present the Critical Terms. These emerged in the course of work on the memorial, in order to actively listen to those affected by racist violence in Germany and to connect migrant knowledge with one another.
The memorial in commemoration of the nail bomb attacks on Probsteigasse in 2001 and Keupstraße in 2004 is still not realised – although the city of Cologne passed a public council resolution for it. The memorial, conceived by Ulf Aminde, consists of two parts: a public square with a concrete slab that has the dimensions of the hair salon, and a digital archive. This is gradually being filled by a project group and consists of videos, educational materials, reports from those affected and experts.
Robert Preusse and Fatoş Tuna will introduce the concept and give an insight into the Critical Terms.
