WIR SIND HIER (WE ARE HERE)
A digital
space for individual and collective mourning and resistance.
WIR SIND HIER is a digital cartography project claiming
remembrance in public space, from city streets to monuments, through the voices and demands of survivors and families of victims
of racist and antisemitic violence.
As a living archive, it
invites users to imagine how remembrance could and should look like today as an active form of resistance and change. By scrolling
over the names of victims, users of the platform are given an overview of right-wing extremist attacks and police brutality
in Germany and the former GDR within the last 40 years, including cases that have not yet been properly recognized as hate
crimes by state and local authorities.
Talya Feldman is a time-based media artist from Denver,
Colorado. She earned her MFA from the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago. Through her intercultural and collaborative practice, Feldman generates social transformation through artistic
and educational projects that offer alternative and reparative narratives to violence. She has received global recognition
for her works combating right-wing terror in cooperation with activist and research-based networks in Germany and abroad.
Feldman has achieved numerous awards including the 2023 Federal Prize for Art Students in Germany, the 2022 Berenberg Culture
Award, the 2021 German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Scholarship Award and the 2021 DAGESH Art Prize for her sound installation
'The Violence We Have Witnessed Carries a Weight on Our Hearts' at the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
