“Federal Emergency Programme” by the Centre for Political Beauty as an Example of the Performance of Multidirectional Memory

Abstracts

EN

The article highlights the activities of the Centre for Political Beauty), a Berlin-based collective operating on the border of art and activism. The author maps the artistic strategies of the creators, discusses their inspirations and general assumptions of the collective. A significant part of the text is devoted to an extensive analysis of Federal Emergency Programme (2014), a public intervention whose starting point was an attempt to rewrite the historical Kindertransport rescue operation to the socio-political realities shaped by the conflict in Syria. Using the theory of reconstruction and the Michael Rothberg’s theory of multidirectional memory, the author refers to this project – and other similarly structured actions – as “performances of multidirectional memory”, which allows her to point out how the highly polarizing the public, artistic-activist campaigns of Centre for Political Beauty create scenarios of political alternatives in which different experiences of extreme violence are not prioritized.
