Remember, Educate, Take a Stand: The Exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse at the Kassel City Hall

In the citizens' hall of the Kassel City Hall, political education meets an impactful exhibition experience. Right-Wing Terror in Hesse showcases the history of right-wing violence in Hesse through 24 rollups, focusing on victims who are often insufficiently visible in public consciousness. Admission is free.

An Artistic Experience of a Different Kind: Exhibition as a Democratic Space

This traveling exhibition does not rely on aesthetic seduction but on clarity, research, and visual density. Photographs, documented cases, and historical contexts create a calm yet oppressive exhibition atmosphere. Those who engage with this broader interpretation of the work will experience political memory culture as an immediate aesthetic experience.

24 Rollups, 24 Perspectives on Violence, Memory, and Responsibility

The presentation makes visible cases that exemplify right-wing violence in Hesse: the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. The exhibition not only questions the acts themselves but also their consequences for relatives, societal debates, and the democratic public. The strength of the format lies particularly in its curation: compact, accessible, and didactically precise.

For Schools, Initiatives, and the Interested Public

The exhibition explicitly addresses the public, school classes, and initiatives. Thus, it becomes a place of cultural education where political history, memory culture, and civil courage intersect. The DGB Education Center Hesse carries the exhibition, funded by the State Center for Political Education. This institutional embedding underscores its enlightening claim.

A Visit with Societal Relevance

Visitors to the citizens' hall in the Kassel City Hall encounter not a decorative display but an important contribution to democratic education. Right-Wing Terror in Hesse invites viewers to look closely, understand connections, and reassess the significance of solidarity. A visit is worthwhile for all who think together about art, documentation, and social responsibility.
