from 15:30 Registration in the Staatstheater

17:00-19:00 Opening - TRBNL Goes Nürnberg

We start decentral at three different places in the community:

• DIDF (Wiesenstraße 86, 90459 Nürnberg)
• Villa Leon (Philipp-Koerber-Weg 1, 90439 Nürnberg)
• Luise – The Cultfactory (Scharrerstrasse 15, 90478 Nürnberg)

At all three places, we collectively grieve the victims of right-wing violence in Bavaria, and together with Tribunalistas of the previous tribunals, attempt to break the continuities of right-wing terror. Bavaria, especially Nuremberg, must take responsibility for enabling racist violence. This includes acknowledging the perspectives of the survivors, their struggles and the day-to-day realities of their lives. Afterwards, we will celebrate the society of the many with live music so that it cannot be overseen.

Recognition

Afterwards we will carry a particular perspective into the Tribunal from each of the three locations:

DIDF: Migrant, post-migrant and black struggles in Bavaria!

Groups based in Nuremberg, such as DIDF and ISD, outline how they do concrete anti-racist work, stand in solidarity against the shift to the right, and defend and celebrate post-migrant realities!

with Ali Sahverdi (Activist Radio-Z), Akim Gubara (Black Community Foundation Nürnberg), Eylem Gün (DIDF Nürnberg)
Moderation: Thuy Nguyen (WIR-Initiative)
Music: Laila Mahmoud

Languages: Deutsch, Türkçe

 

Villa Leon: Fights for residency and equal rights for all!

Those affected by various intersectional forms of discrimination talk about recognition and the equitable shaping of society! With self-assertion and solidarity, they dare to ask how we can combine our various struggles in solidarity.

Luise – The Cultfactory: No closure Bavaria!

Many people have been murdered in Bavaria as a result of right-wing, racist and anti-Semitic terror. Since 2000 alone, 14 people have died in Nuremberg and Munich. We talk about how together with those affected we can obtain answers to the pending issues.

20:00-21:45 Plenum - Forecourt

Occupation: Claim the Space

We come together, collectively bringing our demands into the middle of the city and filling Nuremberg with our presence. We become visible, appropriate spaces and shape them in the spirit of the Tribunal. We create spaces of mutual support and solidarity.

Space of Demands / Activision: In a live performance we will together create a space that connects our struggles and makes our demands visible.

Blank spaces – Remembering and Forgetting in Nuremberg

Tiefenschärfe (Depth of Field) reads the markings of the locations in Nuremberg where the so-called NSU committed three murders between 2000 and 2005. As a formal element, the fathomless nature of the deeds repeatedly throws the horizontal axis of the picture out of sync.

Weißer Fleck (“White Spot”) examines the so-called “Russenwiese” (Russian field) on the outskirts of Nuremberg. The forest clearing is particularly popular with dog owners and walkers. There is nothing on site which alludes to its past as the site of a WWII “work education camp”.

10:00-12:00 Workshops

Right-Wing Violence in Bavaria – History, Topicality, and Counter Strategies

Right-wing violence has a long history in Bavaria. Its dimensions, however, are hardly known to the dominant groups of society. Politics, media, and law enforcement authorities have repeatedly downplayed or ignored right-wing violence and the underlying ideologies of inequality. Victims have frequently been turned into perpetrators. The panel will address the history and presence of right-wing, racist, and antisemitic violence in Bavaria and its effects. We also want to discuss the experiences and prospects of resistance and practices of solidarity against right-wing terror and its social entrenchment.

with Heike Kleffner (VBRG), Hamado Dipama (AGABY, Netzwerk Rassismus- und Diskriminierungsfreies Bayern), Robert Andreasch (Author, a.i.d.a.), Jonas Miller (Journalist)
Moderation: Caro Keller (NSU-Watch)

Workshop Mani-Fest

Artists talk with the choreographers Kassandra Wedel and Rosalie Wanka. How can political dances be created? What do the individual movements in the performance stand for? We will discuss these questions and also dance together.

Social Rights for All! Struggles against racism in the ‘welfare state’.

Whether child benefits, basic security or social housing: access to social benefits is often systematically impeded for migrants. In this workshop, self-organized initiatives will report on their everyday struggles against structural racism in the German welfare state. We will exchange experiences, develop demands and look for new alliances.

Critical Walk: Racist Terror in Nuremberg

The attack on the discotheque Twenty Five in 1982 with 3 deaths is marginalized in public discourse. The same applies to the bomb attack on the pub Sonnenschein in 1999 by the NSU with one seriously injured victim. The ignorance testifies to a lack of awareness of the continuity of right-wing terror and favours deficient elucidation. We will visit crime and memorial sites, discuss local remembrance and demand complete elucidation.

Start: in front of the glass annex, Künstlerhaus, Königstr. 93

„FORUM“: Open discussion – showing solidarity, perspectives, strategies!

We invite relatives, affected persons and solidarity initiatives to come together. The common exchange strengthens us in our perspectives, our strategies and our resistance. We want to follow up on the “Forum” at the Tribunal 2017 in Cologne, exchange ideas and get to know each other and bring our demands to the Tribunal.

Solidary Trial Support for Those Affected by Racist Violence

Cologne in January 2022 – a CDU politician who shot at a teenager in December 2019 was sentenced to prison without probation for grievous bodily harm, among other things. The racist reason of the offender aggravated the sentence. The initiative Tatort Porz supported the person affected by this criminal offence from the beginning, who also appeared as joint plaintiff in court. We want to share this experience and discuss the possibilities of successful trial support.

How Can Commemoration Remain Critical? Networking Workshop for Commemoration Initiatives

In various places, initiatives or individual activists try to remember victims of right-wing violence and to commemorate those who were murdered. In this workshop we wish to create a space for networking and discussion. Among other things, we want to handle the following questions: How can victims and other affected people become the starting point for commemoration, even if little is known about them or there is no contact to them or surviving dependants? How can commemoration remain critical and promote public remembrance and commemoration, but counteract co-optation by municipal or state actors? What forms of action are there beyond anniversaries? And finally, what can joint forms of action look like? How can new connections be created?

with Erinnerungsgruppe München, Initiative Kritisches Gedenken Erlangen

Political education work – what next?

This two-hour workshop aims to create a space for networking and exchange between people working in political education. We want to focus on if and how we can achieve our political goals with educational work? Is educational work just a means to an end? What does it mean to us? What are our political demands as initiatives, associations or groups? In which ways do we try to participate through political education work and how can we succeed in the long term? In the course of our workshop we want to discuss all of these questions, exchange experiences and learn from one another.

Digital Memorial #telltheirstories, part 1

#telltheirstories is a digital memorial for the lives of the murdered victims of right-wing violence and terror in Germany since the reunification. Initially designed by the artist Ülkü Süngün, developed as a prototype with the collectives CodeRat and Zoff as well as Fides Schopp, it can only be completed collectively with initiatives, families and friends of victims and supporters. The goal is to establish a nationwide network and the visibility of marginalized biographies as part of non-hegemonic historical narratives.

The concept of #telltheirstories, as well as database functions and possibilities of use will be presented and following questions will be discussed together in the follow-up discussion: Which terms will be used, which information should be included in the database, who decides about it? What support structure for the website going online on 3.10.22 will fullfill requirements of a collective and inclusive memorial? In group work, existing information on victims can be incorporated into the database on-site.

With thanks to Opferperspektive e.V. and the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Prototype production funding: Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg, Kulturamt Stuttgart.

KollektivNaiv: A Collective Quest for Questions

KollektivNaiv is an artist collective. In changing constellations of people, they work on topics, that are fascinating to them. Naive in this context means being unbiased and open minded. This workshop gives a small insight to the artistic methods and workflow (posing questions, types of research, collective work, finding a form) which the group uses, to then immediately apply them together naively and collectively to the questions, that arise in the context of the NSU tribunal.

Elucidation

Systematic Elucidation! That remains the demand of those affected by right-wing terrorist attacks. Investigation of the crimes, but also explanation of the crimes. The grief, anger and demands of many survivors are still not heard enough. Here there will be space for this – a space for demands and exchange of ideas. Speakers include: Gamze Kubaşık and Semiya Şimşek; Mehmet O., who was seriously injured in the NSU attack on his Pilsbar Sonnenschein in Nuremberg; and victims of the attack on the Olympia Shopping Centre (OEZ) in Munich. This attack is still described as a killing spree, although it was a right-wing and racist act of terrorism.

FOR US! Networking for the long-term support of those affected by the OEZ attack

Armela, Can, Dijamant, Giuliano, Hüseyin, Roberto, Sabina, Selçuk and Sevda were taken from us on 22.7.2016 during the attack at the OEZ in Munich. Since then, we the relatives and survivors fight for elucidationtion, recognition of the act as right-wing terror and memory of our loved ones. For almost 6 years we have been alone – with few exceptions. We finally want solidary support of the civil society. Come to our workshop so that we can fight together in the future. Right-wing terror concerns us all!

Street festival against racism and discrimination – for a better coexistence

For the past 7 years, the street festival has been held annually by a broad alliance at Aufseßplatz. The idea: remember the people who were murdered by the NSU, make the solidarity clear and take it to the streets. That is why the festival takes place every year around the anniversary of the deaths of İsmail Yaşar and Abdurrahim Özüdoǧru in the south of Nuremberg. Many different groups put their differences in the background and emphasize what connects them: the fight for a city free of racism and discrimination, in which peaceful coexistence and solidarity is possible. This has created a unique festival that is about content, not profit.

The workshop is held by Junge Stimme e.V., the group that initiated the festival.

Film Screening

“The Long Way of the Sinti and Roma”

D 2022, 45 min, language: German, director: Adrian Oeser

Jùlie Halilic is proud when she thinks of her grandfather. Wallani Georg, together with other civil rights activists, fought for the recognition of the mass murder of the Sinti and Roma as genocide in 1982. It began with an occupation of the Dachau concentration camp memorial. A film about history that is not over, about a time that continues to have an effect today.

„No Forgetting – 22.07.2016“

D 2021, language: German, 30 min., by and with students from Mittelschule Schleißheimer Straße, Gymnasium Moosach, Mittelschule Walliser Straße, Lion-Feuchtwanger-Gymnasium, Sophie-Scholl-Gymnasium and performers from Bellevue di Monaco. Idea and concept: Christine Umpfenbach and Denijen Pauljević.

On the 5th anniversary of the terrorist attack at the Olympia shopping centre in Munich, students from five Munich schools dealt with the attack, discrimination, racism and right-wing violence, supported by artists.

Mani-Fest

In a grand finale, we bring our demands to the streets and squares of Nuremberg. We have learned to use our bodies as a mouthpiece and we will take the public space. We will move to places where institutional racism often goes unchallenged and create new spaces of empathy and solidarity with our flash mob. Mani-fest is not a one-off intervention, but rather a preview of a better future.
