All work always begins by and constantly references location drawing and laying out the collected materials. Some of these materials would have been printed and dyed upon in previous sessions.
Baraka Blue's poetry is not only beautiful, powerful, lyrical and profound, it also has this unique ability to awaken something deep within the reader, to help us remember ancient wisdom that many of our species have forgotten. This is more than art, it is alchemy." — ADEYINKA MUHAMMAD MENDES - POET, TEACHER, TRANSLATOR AND FOUNDER OF THE NIBRAS FOUNDATION His poetry invokes the immediacy of the Divine Presence as a constant, contemplative reality. He looks for God in everything, never deviating from this essential vision. The Art of Remembrance is another tour de force from the American Muslim poet, a rich collection of verse steeped in the metaphysical language of Islamic spirituality, with a subliminal Hip-Hop heartbeat.” — MICHAEL SUGICH - AUTHOR OF SIGNS ON THE HORIZON, HEART’S TURN, & EXEMPLARS FOR OUR TIME Elsewhere, Keren Cytter’s video Fashions (2019) portrays the fictional interactions of a mother, daughter and grandmother who live together in a flat. The work examines contempt for older people as one of the fundamental precepts of fascist dogma. Moreover, it invites viewers to reflect on the transgenerational emotional devastation wreaked by fascism and the ideology it propagated even after the war in publications such as the popular child-rearing guide Die deutsche Mutter und ihr erstes Kind (The German Mother and Her First Child, 1934), of which millions of copies were printed. Its author, the Munich-based doctor and Nazi supporter Johanna Haarer, made only minor alterations to the postwar editions that continued to be issued until the late 1980s. Among other things, the book advised mothers to ignore the emotional needs of their babies and to keep touch to a minimum. Attachment theory assumes that this behaviour can lead to lasting emotional disturbances handed down to subsequent generations. The manifest contempt for old people in Fashions shows an intergenerational incapacity for emotional empathy that appears uncomfortably prescient in the light of current discourse around the treatment of the elderly during the coronavirus crisis.

As I worked, botanical forms, birds and small details crept in as a focus of calm amidst the disruption of time and personal space. I am mindful of how historically the similar references to botanical and landscape watercolour studies and fine embroidery were perceived as an acceptable means of feminine craft or entertainment in the home. Wives, husbands, or civil partners of those who have died as a result of their service in His Majesty’s Armed Forces. It’s up to each person how they choose to spend their two-minute silence. Usually, people will think about the sacrifices made by people in the armed forces. Or, they will remember loved ones that lost their lives at war. Wearing a Remembrance Day poppy throughout November is another popular way to commemorate Remembrance Day. The red Remembrance Day poppy is a sign of remembrance and a symbol of hope for a peaceful future. How schools commemorate Remembrance Day Tell me about yesterday tomorrow’ is on view at the Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism, Munich, until 30 August 2020. The installation was designed for its first showing at the 20 th European Patchwork Meeting in 2014 with the intention that it would be added to and changed as the project developed. I decided to line the work chronologically. A section of lace or line of stitch would carry through one to another of the pieces in sequence.

The presence of this historic stone in close proximity to the recently constructed museum correlates with one of the central issues raised by ‘Tell me about yesterday tomorrow’, an exhibition curated by Nicolaus Schafhausen and Juliane Bischoff, which features works by 46 international artists including Cana Bilir-Meier, Loretta Fahrenholz, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Ydessa Hendeles, Arthur Jafa, Michaela Mélian, Emeka Ogboh and Hito Steyerl. In the face of the creeping normalization of racist and far-right thinking in recent years, the curators examine the potential of history to identify and challenge present-day anti-democratic processes.
