The time after - Friedrichshafen 1946

The exhibition "The time after - Friedrichshafen 1946" will open in the White Box on Friedrichshafen Art Friday on March 27. A growing participatory archive is to be created here, in which documents, images, objects and statements from contemporary witnesses will be shown on various topics. The exhibition draws on private and public archives and new media recordings. Topics include life in ruins, architecture and infrastructures of transition, remembrance and shame. On display will be photographs, architectural designs and development plans for the city, documents and narratives that make it clear how the future was conceived in the immediate post-war period and how the relationship to totalitarian Nazi rule developed. Artist Marina Naprushkina from Belarus, who has been bringing people together through her artistic practice for many years and encouraging them to create their own social and cultural spaces and infrastructures - most recently a lido abandoned by the state of Berlin, which has now been reopened as a cultural venue - was recruited to develop the exhibition display. Naprushkina will create her exhibition display together with students from ropes, shelves and banners.

About the artist: Marina Naprushkina is an artist, feminist and activist. Her diverse artistic practice includes video, performance, drawings, installations and text. Naprushkina works mostly outside institutional spaces, in collaboration with communities and activist organizations, and focuses on developing new formats, structures and organizations based on self-organized overlays of theory and practice. In 2007, she founded the Office for Anti-Propaganda, which deals with power structures in nation states. In 2013, Naprushkina initiated the social project Neue Nachbarschaft/Moabit. The project developed into one of the largest art and political initiatives in Berlin and built a strong community of people with and without migration and refugee backgrounds. Naprushkina was awarded the ECF Princess Margriet Award for Culture (2017) and the Sussmann Artist Award (2015). She has participated in the Kyiv Biennale (2017), the 7th Berlin Biennale (2011) and the 11th International Istanbul Biennale (2009), among others. Naprushkina teaches at the Berlin University of the Arts.
