20/10/2026

At the age of six, Jasmin Werner moved from North Rhine-Westphalia to Müncheberg, a small town in Brandenburg east of Berlin, where she spent her childhood and adolescence in the 1990s. Her sculpture of a bus shelter resembles the models still standing today in the immediate vicinity of her childhood home. Through personal photographs, Werner links this reconstruction of a public site with her own biographical memories. These images also hold social and personal histories of transformation and emancipation, with the bus shelter staged as a merrily blinking portal into that experience. But as temporal distance grows, memory often renders the past more beautiful than it was: the 1990s were, for Brandenburg, a period in which right-wing violence and neo-Nazi structures shaped public space in many places. In cooperation with Florian Hein and the women’s choir Sunday Singers from Müncheberg, Jasmin Werner had selected songs from her youth performed again. Recordings of the rehearsals can be heard next to the bus stop.

15/10/2026

Anastasiya Yarovenko’s Forged (2026) is a sculpture made from fragments of an Iranian Shahed drone recovered in Ukraine. Russian-made copies of this model – the Geran-2 (Russian for “geranium”) – have been used, and continue to be used, to terrorize the Ukrainian population. The image of the rose derives from Soviet urban and representational politics. In 2023, a rose sculpture was shown in the exhibition Novorossiya (“New Russia,” a historical term that is also politically imperial in nature) at the State Historical Museum in Moscow. According to the object description, it had been made in 2014 by a blacksmith from Donetsk using purportedly Ukrainian shell fragments. Through this symbol, the exhibition sought to construct a narrative of supposed Ukrainian aggression and to legitimize Russia’s annexation. For Forged, Anastasiya Yarovenko inverts the object’s propagandistic logic, having a rose of her own made from parts of a Geran-2 drone. A second work, A Letter from War (2026) points to the loss of cultural artifacts such as books and works of art, and to the omnipresence of destruction that has become part of daily life for people in Ukraine. The olfactory composition is perceptible at times in the exhibition space.

13/10/2026

The Republic of Moldova is one of the closest points of refuge for people fleeing southern Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. It was here that Pavel Brăila met Vera Derevianko, a 72-year-old pensioner, in 2022. Vera spent two years living in a blue tent in the Palanca refugee camp, on the border between Moldova and Ukraine. Despite repeated offers to move to better accommodation, Vera had refused to leave her “blue lagoon,” wanting to stay as close as possible to her homeland and to her children and grandchildren, who were living under the threat of bombing. Vera’s relationship with her children, meanwhile, remained complicated, not least because they disagreed on many issues. Like many people of her generation, Vera is a homo sovieticus, living through the painful unraveling of old certainties. In his film – a work in progress – Brăila captures the collision between belief and reality, and the persistence of political projections even in the face of the war’s atrocities. The film examines the long-term effects of propaganda that helped lay the political groundwork and legitimization for the war, and has seeped deep into the imagination and belief systems of many people.

08/10/2026

The film Breadbasket of Europe (2026) by Maksym Khodak engages with the Soviet myth of the “theft of chornozem” – the black soil said to have been carried off in vast quantities by the Wehrmacht (the German armed forces) during the German occupation in World War II. This myth remains deeply rooted in Ukrainian memory to this day, not least because it offers a potent image of the Third Reich’s so-called Lebensraum policy of expansion. Khodak stages the colonial gaze that regards “the East” as backward and as a resource for the taking. Produced with the help of various AI tools, the film addresses the entanglement of destruction, imperial appropriation, and ethnonationalist propaganda, in which people, nature, and truth alike become casualties. Today, Russian propaganda distorts this history, casting Ukraine’s experience of National Socialist occupation, exploitation, and extermination as a pretext for an ostensibly necessary “denazification.” Khodak shows how myths and historical narratives legitimize imperial claims and asks what effect they have in a post-factual public sphere.

The film La Haluca – A Pioneer Girl (2026) documents the performance of the same name by Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*. Before the Shoah, Yugoslavia had an active Zionist movement. In a historical text by Bosnian-Jewish author Luna Laura Papo Bohoreta, the haluca appears as a figure of projection in which Jewish self-determination and feminist emancipation intertwine within a Bosnian-Sephardic context. Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*’s performance takes up this figure of the Jewish woman as pioneer. Through selected biographies of individuals widely known today, the work brings renewed attention to Jewish history in the Yugoslav region – a history overwritten by the Shoah, by the memory politics of socialist Yugoslavia, and by the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, and one that remains, to this day, only tenuously part of collective memory in the region and beyond.

Sinking Empires / East of the Danube, West of the Euphrates (2019) by Anca Benera & Arnold Estefán connects the histories of two places at opposite ends of the Ottoman Empire’s sphere of influence: Its starting point is Ada Kaleh, an island on the Danube River that was an Ottoman exclave between Romania and Serbia and which was flooded in 1968. When the Euphrates River was dammed in 1968, it threatened to flood the island of Qal’at Ja’bar, which had also been an Ottoman exclave since the Treaty of Ankara (1921), and with it the tomb of Süleyman Şah (ca. 1178–1236). Since Şah was considered to be the grandfather of Osman I. (1258–ca. 1324), founder of the Ottoman Empire – a claim now believed to be refuted –, Turkey and Syria agreed to have his tomb relocated. Thus, along with the tomb, Turkish territory within Syria moved to a different place. Benera’s & Estefán’s tapestry interweaves the topographies of the two sunken sites. At the same time, the work points to the instability of categories such as “West” and “East,” shaped by imperial border-drawing, political interests, historical narratives, and cultural attributions.

23/09/2026

Hasidism, which originated in Eastern Europe in the 18th century, evolved from a novel religious movement into a community characterized in many ways by conservatism. In some branches of Hasidism, Jewish life in the Eastern European shtetl is remembered as a spiritual ideal and a lost “golden age.” Shlomo Pozner’s work is inspired by the visual culture of contemporary pilgrimages to the graves of Hasidic tzaddikim, or righteous leaders, in Poland and Ukraine. His starting point is posters and flyers whose design combines contemporary advertisements for travel agencies with nostalgic images of the shtetl. Pozner focuses in particular on the recurring architectural elements of the burial sites shown in these materials, demonstrating how this imagery language produces a romanticized picture of Jewish life in Eastern Europe and transports it into the present.

22/09/2026

On March 31, 1990, the border crossing between the Brandenburg municipality of Kleinmachnow and Berlin-Zehlendorf was opened in a symbolically staged ceremony attended by politicians and the public. For her video work Land des Lächelns (The Land of Smiles, 1990), Hito Steyerl combines her documentary footage of this event with a song from Franz Lehár’s operetta of the same name (1929), in which the protagonists’ love fails because of cultural and social boundaries. Steyerl relates this motif to German reunification. In the final scene, a group of what seem to be Vietnamese contract workers is turned away, apparently by a police officer. The scene suggests that the euphoria over border opening did not apply equally to everyone, and that social reality was – and remains – marked by exclusion and racism.

In den 1990er Jahren schlossen sich Bands, Intellektuelle und Antifas zu „Wohlfahrtsausschüssen“ zusammen. Sie einte der Versuch, antiautoritäre Lebensweisen in Rostock, Dresden und Leipzig gegen rechtsextreme Szenen zu verteidigen. Im Rahmen des mehrteiligen Ausstellungs-, Diskurs- und Publikationsprojekt „Projektionen auf den Osten“ debattieren Beteiligte, was sich daraus lernen lässt und wo wir heute stehen.
