Questioning at Point Zero. A conversation with Belarusian translator, essayist and cultural mediator Iryna Herasimovich
Conversation partner: Katharina Raabe
Friday, November 12, 2021, 5 p.m.
Maleratelier Schloss Wiepersdorf
(in German language)

When Belarus was still a blank spot on the map, there was already an idiosyncratic, heterogeneous cultural scene that created spaces in which ideas of a life that was not controlled took shape. Under the unfavorable conditions of the rigid system, fixated on the Soviet past, a parallel society was able to develop, in niches, invisible to many. The repressions that have swept the country and traumatized society since the crushing of the white-red-white protests have also dissolved these niches. In conversation with editor Katharina Raabe (Suhrkamp Verlag), Iryna Herasimovich offers insights into this scene.

„ ...es steht alles sehr zweifelhaft auf dem Lande." Explorations in Wiepersdorf
Special Exhibition by Iris Berndt
November 13, 2021, to Februar 13, 2022
Opening: Saturday, November 13, 2021, 2 p.m.
Museum im Mönchenkloster
Mönchenkirchplatz 4, 14913 Jüterbog

Achim von Arnim (1781–1831) reports in his letters about his work as a farmer and landowner of Wiepersdorf. The art historian Dr. Iris Berndt, fellow at Schloss Wiepersdorf, is inspired by this to search for traces and builds a bridge to the present. She researches and inquires, photographs and paints. Objects from the collection of the Jüterbog Museum complement the exhibition. The exhibition is about urgent questions of our handling of the natural riches in nature and landscape.

German-German Asymmetries
Lecture and discussion with Ulf Erdmann Ziegler („Eine andere Epoche“, Suhrkamp Verlag 2021) and Christoph Dieckmann („Woher sind wir geboren“, Ch. Links Verlag 2021)
Moderation: Jörg Magenau
Recording in German language

A quarter of a century after reunification, the cultural debate in the new Federal Republic of Germany is still characterized by asymmetrical experiences and perceptions. Yet not only the GDR, but also the old Federal Republic has come to its multifaceted end. However, while the reappraisal of the GDR is very far advanced, there is a lack of a comparably dense preoccupation with the old Federal Republic. Above all, it is time for a comparative examination of German-German transformation processes. Christoph Dieckmann and Ulf Erdmann Ziegler will read from their current books and talk about German-German cultural history as a "history of relationships".

Science – Ecology – Activism
Eva Horn and Klaus Dörre in discussion
Moderation: Steffen Richter
Recording in German language

In the face of climate crisis and pandemic, science has taken on a new status in the social conversation. But scientists not only reflect on crisis symptoms, they also make proposals in collaboration or debate with activists that can become politically effective. This is especially true for ecological problems. In a conversation between the literature and cultural studies scholar Eva Horn and the economic sociologist Klaus Dörre, the relationship between science and activism is discussed with regard to ecological crises.
