Tabletalk Not Easy
Joint tour one hour beforehand

Expert*innen-Gespräch (Roundtable discussion in German) with Ahmad Dakhnous, Tahir Della, Yehudit Yinhar & Anna Yeboah
Moderation: Pegah Byroum-Wand

The specialists team behind the pluralistic discourse project Nicht Einfach – Ahmad Dakhnous, Tahir Della, Anna Yeboah and Yehudit Yinhar – will share insights into the programme’s development and its educational aspects within the exhibition. Pegah Byroum-Wand, who provided scholarly support for the project, will moderate the discussion. At 4 p.m., there will be an opportunity to learn about Irma Stern’s works during a public guided tour. 

The exhibition Irma Stern. A Modern Artist between Cape Town and Berlin and its contexts are the starting point for the pluralistic project Nicht Einfach (Not Easy), in which we, as a team of specialists, reflect together on the culture of remembrance and social coexistence, creating space for tolerating ambiguities. In our view, creating spaces where we can collectively reflect about antisemitism, colonialism and racism is part of living in solidarity in a pluralistic society. To understand Irma Stern today – who was a contemporary of the Brücke artists - we must discuss and link these historical and violent contexts to the present. In the exhibition, we explore eight concepts from Stern’s biography in depth through glossary entries, reflection questions, quotations, images, comments and videos. In the public programme, we invite you to join us for training courses, discussions, art workshops and city tours, which will begin in September.
