FASIA (THE ERFURT VERSION)

The work FASIA is dedicated to the singer-songwriter Fasia Jansen (1929-1997). The audio work uncovers traces of the forgotten history of a black Germans and multidirectionally recalls past and present anti-racist struggles. The speaker who brings Fasia to life through her voice is Jasmin Eding. Eding is one of the first generation of black queer women who organized for the rights and visibility of black people in Germany. She founded ADEFRA with others in the 1980s.

In the eponymous exhibition in Erfurt FASIA is complemented by four short texts of Robert Antelme, Paul Celan, Primo Levi and Marceline Loridan-Ivens, narrated by Dieter Lesage, Kadir Memiş and Ina Wudtke. The authors are concentration camp and/or forced labour survivors, who in their texts urgently address those of us born after them.
