our motivation
In the conception of the Nomadic Landscape: Community Art Center Wawern, we are concerned with the search for radical solidarity in intersectional discourse and the examination of German history in relation to the former Wawern synagogue.
What can this impetus mean locally and translocally, in the exchange between the Global North and the Global South? What does it mean to live in a village? How can village society be lived (anew)?
How do we deal with structural racism, classism, abelism and all other forms of discrimination in our local contexts?
How can we jointly translate findings globally?
We have learned that neither the application of theories nor the translation of terms (e.g. Asian American to Asian German) can reflect the realities, history and representation of marginalization.
We need lived democracy and solidarity. Through the Nomadic Landscape: Community Art Center Wawern, we will work and research together artistically in the long term. We will form friendships, networks and communities. We will foster and promote discourse and (privilege-) reflection, solidarity and empathy. We create nomadic, open structures that strengthen the (political) landscape in Germany despite right-wing redical pressure, so that a just system of mutual support between people and communities can develop locally and translocally/internationally.
The Nomadic Landscape CACW is funded by the Freudenberg Foundation and works in cooperation with United Networks gUG, The People United asbl, hannahmadance and the Förderverein Gedenken und Gestalten.
