Introduction
ANCB, in collaboration with the ZEIT-Stiftung, invites protagonists from literature, sociology, arts and civil society for a conversation, a reading or a performance about land and territory, the concepts of ownership and translocation, protection and borders. Some participants will also share their personal experience with exile, transit, inclusion and exclusion, longing and belonging, adding a special voice to these global, challenging and pressing themes.
This series is part of ANCB’s long-term programme Borders and Territories: Identity in Place, discussing the spatial consequences of geopolitical, socio-cultural, economic and ecological aspects of home, displacement, migration and identity in a transdisciplinary dialogue. It also represents a continuation of the project Transit Spaces in collaboration with the ZEIT-Stiftung.
Programme
Screening of the feature film Giraffe (2019) with an introduction by director Anna Sofie Hartmann and a word of welcome by HE Susanne Hyldelund, Danish Ambassador to Germany.
The film screening (streaming available until 16 Dec. 2020) is accompanied by an interview with Anna Sofie Hartmann. The filmmaker talks about the dialectic between construction and destruction in Giraffe, the non-hierarchical relationship between centre and periphery in its narrative and how spaces inspire her films. A word of welcome by the Danish Ambassador to Germany, HE Susanne Hyldelund, marks the close of the Danish-German cultural friendship year 2020 commemorating the centenary of the referendum in the German-Danish border region and thus the democratic and permanent resolution of the border issue between the two countries.
