Vitsche e.V.

The goal of the project is to show the blind spots and gray zones in the culture of memory, bring into light the presence of controversial soviet memorials and point to historical myths. We want to find the grassroots in estimating the meaning of commonly shared values and historical events to reveal differences in their understanding. The project dares to reveal, re-open and share four different practices and approaches that brought modern Germany for spreading the distorted ideas of abstract peace. We have the ambition and courage to criticize and re-think the most prominent historical events and their modern interpretations, as well as show them in modern topography of Berlin. The aim of the program is to build a space for debate and put the light on imperialistic and totalitarian relationships in r*ssian and German historical past, to find the connections between memory and present difficulties in the common way we think about r*ssia's aggression against Ukraine.
