Echoes in Ink – The Art of Remembrance
‘Echoes in Ink – The Art of Remembrance’ is an interdisciplinary art and education project that gives young people creative access to Jewish history and encourages them to engage with the persecution of Jews during the Nazi era.
At a time when anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise, historical narratives are being forgotten or politically exploited, new forms of remembrance are needed: participatory, visual and true to life. ‘Echoes in Ink’ responds to this need by combining artistic expression with historical education, thereby creating new perspectives on the culture of remembrance.
The focus is on biographical research into Jewish life stories before, during and after the Shoah. Based on this research, young participants (aged 15-25) develop their own comic narratives under professional guidance, in which they grapple with questions of historical responsibility, continuities of discrimination and their own scope for action.
The project is divided into interactive memorial tours, creative workshops, thematic work sessions and individual mentoring. The creative process culminates in the design of the participants’ own graphic novels – artistic testimonies that are made publicly visible in exhibitions, readings and digital formats.
‘Echoes in Ink’ is implemented by Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e.V. in close cooperation with memorial sites, artists and experts from the fields of education, comic art and history.
