Ausgehend von den exzessiv bewegten Lendentüchern Christi in dem Stil der Donauschule widmet sich die Ausstellung von Susanne Ristow dem Schleier als offener Bild- und Projektionsfläche.

This lecture addresses the issue of genocide in Algeria, as discussed in recent scientific research and by the Algerian people and authorities. It aims to demonstrate how this subject haunts France’s colonial history in Algeria, and how it is currently perceived and discussed locally.
