The Archive as a Field of Experimentation: Artistic Research in the Archive of the GDR Opposition
What strategies and methods did opposition groups and individuals in the GDR use to rebel against the inhumane actions of their country's government? In cooperation with the Archive of the GDR Opposition of the Robert Havemann Society (RHG), FHP students immerse themselves in the archive's diverse collection during an intensive project week, conduct research interviews with contemporary witnesses and develop their own research projects.
What is special here is that in addition to traditional scientific approaches, artistic-research project work is also possible. The results of the students' work will be shown at the end of the seminar series as part of a final presentation at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and published digitally in collaboration with the RHG.
