Ansehen werde ich sie mir. Den Zugang zu den Opfern habe ich über enge Freunde, die am 07.10. Angehörige verloren haben – dafür brauche ich keine Ausstellung, die einen so eindeutigen ideologischen Anspruch verfolgt

Türkisch-kurdischer Konflikt: Friedensrhetorik und Kriegslogik

Am 11. Juli 2025 legten dreißig Guerillakämpfer und -kämpferinnen der Kurdischen Arbeiterpartei PKK ihre Waffen nieder. Vor laufenden Kameras verbrannten sie in einer Zeremonie ihre Sturmgewehre.

Die morgen in Berlin eröffnende Nova-Ausstellung wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Breeze Creative produziert – einem 'Experience-Design'-Unternehmen, das uA auch für die Rüstungsfirmen Elbit Systems und Rafael arbeitet. Abseits der diversn ästhetischen Fragen womöglich erwähnenswert.

Bei der rechten Pro-Israel-Demo in Neukölln trug eine Teilnehmerin heute das „Punisher“ Totenkopf-Symbol – ein Zeichen, das in letzten Jahren von rechtsextremen Gruppen in den USA und Israel vereinnahmt wurde. Pressearbeit und das Filmen von Redebeiträgen wurden massiv behindert; Verdi fehlte
