Slowly but surely the names of the victims are starting to become an integral part of protests against far-right extremism and police brutality. But what about the names of those who were murdered over two decades ago? And what if most people in the country they were killed in don't know how to pronounce them?
Takdir. Die Anerkennung is one artist's response to this ongoing problem. A participatory performance that's part language lesson and part collective ritual, it's the subject of our conversation with Stuttgart-based artist Ülkü Süngün.

Takdir. Die Anerkennung - Berlin 2021
by Ülkü Süngün
