Love Is the Message, The Message Is Death
Arthur Jafa
31 May - 12 July
On Saturday 5 July at 15h, we are offering a guided tour of the exhibition and E-WERK. No advance registration is necessary!
Love Is the Message, The Message Is Death (2016) consists of footage shot by Jafa, a visual artist with a long career as a cinematographer and film director, as well as clips sampled from films, newscasts, sporting events, music videos, and citizen videos, much of it downloaded from the Internet. These images traverse the twentieth century, focusing on the lives of Black people set against the backdrop of systemic racism and white supremacism. This work is a powerful meditation on racism and Black pain, creativity and Black resilience and will be shown for the first time in Brandenburg.
Summer School: Energy Literacy for Just Transition
5 - 9 July
E-WERK will host a summer school for an interdisciplinary selection of masters and PhD students at E-WERK in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam to explore the questions: How can we understand the different ways energy manifests in landscapes, social relations, infrastructures and heritage spaces? What happens to energy production sites after they are decommissioned? Please note the application process has now closed.
Stadtbad Live! Sommerfest
