Where hummingbirds swim
Life and death on the GDR's Baltic Sea border - exhibition opening, discussion, lecture
In the GDR, the Baltic Sea marked a space in which two realities overlapped: a vacation landscape and a deadly guarded state border. While many people spent their summers on the Baltic coast and experienced the sea as a place of relaxation, others tried to escape the SED dictatorship by crossing the very same waters. At least 135 people lost their lives in the process; numerous others managed to escape through the water. The Baltic Sea is therefore a space in which everyday experiences and political violence intermingle in a special way.
Two perspectives meet in the joint discussion: historical and artistic research. Moderated by Dr. Martina Weyrauch, historian Prof. Dr. Hope M. Harrison and artist Marie Jeschke will discuss how different forms of knowledge complement each other - and how art and science can jointly develop new approaches to the Baltic Sea as a space of memory.afterwards, the exhibition "Where Hummingbirds Swim" by Marie Jeschke will be opened in the Visitor Center of the Berlin Wall Memorial.
Program
Welcome: Prof. Dr. Axel Klausmeier, Director of the Berlin Wall Foundation
