We open the box. Talking about difficult history together
D751099
We open the box. Talking about difficult history together is a format that invites open exchange and learning in carefully moderated and jointly organized discussion rounds. With reference to National Socialism in Linz, the focus is on its prehistory, its emergence, the continued impact of ideology, anti-Semitism and exclusion right up to the present day.
Each session provides food for thought through input from a guest. Based on this, we will develop thoughts and questions that we link to the exhibition Sehnsucht Frieden (on show at the Nordico Stadtmuseum from 19.9.25 to 8.3.26) and ask about our own longings: What longing drives us when we look at the history of National Socialism? What did people back then long for in terms of their future? In this way, we weave new threads between times, places and stories.
Concept and moderation:
Karin Schneider, Head of Art Education at Nordico and Wolfgang Schmutz, Educational Consultant
