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 andprospectsof resistance and practices of solidarity against right-wing terror and its social entrenchment.

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.

„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?

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.

Change

We move forward demandingly! With our demands we break through the state of terror and division and create the solidary society of the many. We bring together demands, discuss how far they have been realized, and make the struggles for change visible.

Practice Mani-Fest

Together we want to take the demands to the streets, out of the theatre, into society – with sign poetry. Based on Latin American resistance struggles, a Mani fest will be created! We will use our bodies as mouthpieces and practice the flashmob for Sunday together with the performance artists Kassandra Wedel and Rosalie Wanka.
