Remembrance culture in an immigrant society

The museum Center for Persecuted Arts Has that Commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the far-right attack on the Genç family documented on film. Part of the events was the opening of Exhibition “Solingen '93 — Unutturmayacağız! Never forget! ” in Center for Persecuted Arts.

Speakers at the exhibition opening included Claudia Roth, Minister of State for Culture and Media, Tim Kurzbach, Lord Mayor of Solingen and Cem Özdemir, Federal Minister and Chairman of the Exhibition's Board of Trustees. Özlem Genç spoke on behalf of her family at the inauguration of Mevlüde-Genç Square on May 28, as well as at the municipal memorial service in the theatre and concert hall on May 29, 2023. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier also found impressive words here.

The film conveys various perspectives and demands on the culture of remembrance in an immigration society, not least from Mevlüde Genç, who died on October 30, 2022, and who we see as a mission for our house.

  • Idea: Musa Kavalli
  • Coordination: Birte Fritsch
  • Production: Siegersbusch Film Wuppertal
  • Editing: Kolya Michalek and Daniela Tobias
  • Funded by the Gerd Kaimer Bürgerstiftung Solingen

We are also pleased that the Solingen City Archive has had the “Solingen '93” exhibition documented with a 360° tour of the company Excit3D GmbH. This gives us the opportunity to keep this space of encounter and remembrance permanently open.

About the exhibition “Solingen '93”

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
