June 2024: See video: Mapping Memories – All Together Now
‘Mapping Memories – All together NOW’. After four years of METAhub, the Jewish Museum, the Archaeological Museum and the Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm are inviting visitors to discuss their research findings and artistic positions in a final festival – with the aim of making traces of Jewish life tangible.
Like here in the ‘Golden Apple’, an originally preserved vaulted cellar and the only remnant of Frankfurt’s Judengasse, which is open to the public until the end of 2025. An exhibition presents project results, such as the reconstruction of the old Judengasse as a virtual reality installation.
In the Digital Lab, artists will present digital mediation formats and discuss how these can enrich remembrance.
Guided city walks will show the real traces of Jewish life, most of which have been built over.
Panel discussions will focus on forms of remembrance of Jewish history and the role of Frankfurt in the works of Jewish artists.
For the invited artists, being Jewish is part of the programme.
The festive finale is the Purim party. With costumes and dancing, the world is turned upside down on the last evening – in keeping with Jewish tradition.
