Mail Art at the Memorial

Collages, texts, drawings

 

Mail art is to be used to create low-threshold access to the history of East Germany, especially for young people. In this way, they learn how young people in the GDR tried to overcome the narrow political and geographical borders by means of this communicative art form. The participants are given a short tour of the Stasi investigation prison and talk to contemporary witnesses who practised mail art and/or experienced political persecution. The participants will incorporate these impressions and insights into the subsequent design of their own mail art. During the workshop, the participants are introduced to the method of mail art and create their own works, which can be exhibited in the youth room DENKSTÄTTE of the Bautzner Straße Memorial if desired.
