Recording memories at the fair. Oral history and the “Schueberfouer”

Recording memories at the fair. Oral history and the “Schueberfouer”

Memory has its own pitfalls, and to provide a more tangible environment for remembering, it was decided to perform oral history interviews for the ongoing research about the “Schueberfouer” funfair on site at the fairground. The assumption was that the space of the “Schueberfouer” could trigger memories and reflections that would otherwise not emerge. However, navigating through a noisy present can prove challenging.

Advanced Participation by Participation in advance. Public History as Shared Authority at the Exhibition “Ost-Berlin. Die halbe Hauptstadt”

There is more than just one East Berlin. People made very different experiences with the capital of the GDR. Hence there are also plenty of different memories of the East German capital. An exhibition on the history of East Berlin has to take these different perspectives into account and should be based on shared authority.
