Open House Day - Tag der offenen Tür
European Heritage Days
As last year ZMO organizes its open house day in cooperation with the Historische Kommission zu Berlin. Visitors get an insight into the research of the two institutions in different lectures under the title "Migration and Diversity". Additionally the program offers a concert of Anatolian folk music by singer and musician Petra Nachtmanova and her band (Deniz Mahir Kartal and Engin Işık), a children program, oriental street food by Koshary Lux, as also guided tours through ZMO's working place, the more than 100 years old Mittelhof, built by famous German architect Hermann Muthesius. The open house day takes place in coordination with the nationwide Tag des offenen Denkmals in the framework of the European Heritage Days. Click on the image above or here to see full program. | |

Lives from a Global Conflict: Cultural Entanglements during the First World War
Exhibition of the collaborative research project Cultural Exchange in a Time of Global Conflict
Widely and generally known as a phase of cruel battles, destruction and enormous suffering, the exhibition sheds fresh light on the First World War as a generator of imposed and voluntary encounters. Not only for Europeans but also for more than one million Asians and Africans, who fought on the side of the Entente in the battles of the Western front. The exhibition showcases the life trajectories of 16 individuals–some famous, some not–who lived through these extraordinary times, and whose experiences illustrate the global and varied nature of the Great War. The exhibition is one outcome of a three-year collaborative research project entitled "Cultural Exchange in a Time of Global Conflict: Colonials, Neutrals, and Belligerents during the First World War”, partly hosted at ZMO.

Hamburg – India: An Entangled History
Exhibition organized by the collaborative research project Modern India in German Archives
People, commodities, scientific objects, and ideas have been traveling back and forth between the port city of Hamburg and India with increasing frequency for many centuries. But little is known about the nature of these exchanges or the imaginations, aspirations and interests of the historical actors shaping them. On the occasion of the Historikertag 2016, the exhibition presents traces of the entanglement between the Hanseatic City and the Indian Subcontinent. Based on findings from the Hamburg archives and scientific collections, it provides a fascinating insight into these economic, intellectual, political and migrational connections, and indicates promising fields of research.

Digging Deep, Crossing Far_ 3rd Encounter: Berlin
Exhibition - opening reception
Digging deep, crossing far presents contemporary artistic positions on lesser known narratives from the First World War. These positions add a global perspective to Western history, and begin in a Great War camp at Zossen-Wünsdorf (Germany) where non-European prisoners of war were held. This camp is the exhibition’s sounding board for further discourse and artistic engagement...
Digging Deep, Crossing Far_ 3rd Encounter: Berlin will be shown from September 10 to November 13, 2016, in the arts space Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien.
