The Goethe-Institut and the Faculté de communication de l’UQAM cordially invite you to come and mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall as part of the Journées de la culture. Programme:

The Wall – A Border through Germany
The history of the Berlin Wall and of the inner-German border is documented on 20 large-format posters. On display are a number of impressive photographs and documents from the archives of the newspapers Bild and Die Welt. Addressed themes are the GDR’s border regime and its victims, escape helpers and flight, everyday life along the inner-German border and within the partitioned city, as well as the joyful overcoming of Germany’s partition during the Peaceful Revolution in 1989.

In the summer of 2019, students enrolled in communication, history, music, literature or the German language certificate at UQAM were able to grasp the history and particular stories relating to Germany and Europe, 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. During the 6th edition of the Berlin Summer School, they produced films, reports, interviews, photographs, essays, stories, travel diaries and podcasts as part of the courses offered by Sebastian Döderlein (language school, UQAM) and Katharina Niemeyer (media school, UQAM, CELAT). Many of these works will be exhibited and presented on September 28, 2019 at the Goethe Institut and some productions will be posted online: https://berlinprague2019.uqam.ca/.
Mis en ligne: la médiatisation du “terrorisme” dans les médias d’information canadiens anglophones et francophones (1900-2000)
6 décembre: 10 000 CARTES POSTALES POUR 2042 – Nostalgie du futur en vue du 400ème anniversaire de Montréal
Guillaume Duval, co-directeur artistique, Comptoir public

À l’occasion des festivités entourant le 375ème anniversaire de Montréal, l’organisme Comptoir public, associé à des artistes et à des médiateurs culturels, a lancé le projet « Les Postes du futur ». Durant l’été 2017, à bord d’un camion aménagé en bureau postal, le groupe a sillonné les dix-neuf arrondissements de la ville en vue de récolter les messages des résidents sur des cartes postales imprimées qui seront acheminées dans vingt-cinq ans aux destinataires de leur choix. La richesse du projet de récolte de récits et de médiation dans l’espace public, comme celle du matériau ouvre de nombreuses pistes d’analyse. Dans le cadre de cette présentation, nous allons revenir sur la genèse du projet, puis confronter l’analyse thématique d’une sélection de cartes postales et du site web de l’initiative, aux résultats d’un focus group mené avec des instigateurs du projet, deux artistes, et une postière/médiatrice afin d’interroger les facettes des imaginations et des possibles nostalgies du futur que contient et exprime ce corpus composite.
Entrée libre, DC-2300 – 279, rue Ste-Catherine Est – 2e étage – 12h45 à 14h
Upcoming talk: nostalgiArt. between time-, homesickness and the performative role of nostalgia (keynote) / School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism
