Memories Are Made of This: 30 Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Deutsches Haus at NYU and NYU’s Center for European and Mediterranean Studies present “Memories Are Made of This: 30 Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall,” a conference commemorating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This conference will take place on Thursday, November 7, and Friday, November 8, consisting of a keynote address by DAAD Visiting Scholar at Deutsches Haus at NYU Christiane Lemke; two panel discussions on politics, art, and remembrance; and an exhibition opening of Petra Senn’s “The Fall of the Berlin Wall. Pictures and Imaginations, Berlin, Nov. 1989.”

This November, Germany and the world will celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – a world event, which continues to shape our contemporary political, cultural, and economic reality. In “Memories Are Made of This: 30 Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall” Deutsches Haus at NYU and NYU’s Center for European and Mediterranean Studies will bring together thinkers, writers, political scientists, artists, and filmmakers for an in-depth look at the repercussions of this momentous occasion and the different realities we inhabit today. With the polarization of public opinion, a fracturing of historical memory and national identity, and an increasingly fraught political climate marked by the rebirth of nationalism and rise of far-right populist parties, how do we (re)assess the last three decades and where do we go from here?
