OEZ erinnern!

We remember: Armela, Can, Dijamant, Guiliano, Hüseyin, Roberto, Sabine, Selçuk, and Sevda

Ten years after the far-right terrorist and racist attack at the Olympia Shopping Center in Munich, many questions remain unanswered. On this day, we want to explore these questions in various ways and come together in remembrance.

We will screen the film “Looking Back” by Mila Zhluktenko and Daniel Asadi Faezi. The filmmakers will be present and will engage in a discussion with relatives and the audience following the screening. The event will be moderated by Sapir von Abel, curator for education and outreach and a member of the curatorial team for the Munich art and culture festival “ausARTen—Perspektivwechsel durch Kunst.”

“Looking Back”
Migrant workers build a shopping center for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. In 2016, the same location becomes the scene of a racist, far-right attack. “And now this hatred,” a woman remarks in Sohrab Shahid Saless’s film “Recipient Unknown” (1983). “Looking Back” is an attempt to examine historical continuities of racism in Germany from a cinematic perspective.
