Forget and Remember Exhibition

On view from 4 June to 28 November 2021 in the Jewish Historical Museum: Forget & Remember by the exceptional artist duo Gil & Moti. They developed this exhibition, in which their family histories take central stage, especially for the JHM. Using the stories of Gil’s father and Moti’s mother, the artists explore the relationship between personal, subjective memories and the collective memory. Please note: this exhibition includes an audio tour. Please bring your own headphones or purchase headphones at the museum.

The exhibition
In Forget & Remember the visitor is introduced to the stories of ánd about the protagonists of the exhibition: Gil’s father and Moti’s mother. The exhibition is built around their very different collections: Gil’s father has a collection of everyday objects that he either uses himself or has found on the street. Moti’s mother’s collection consists of paintings by famous Israeli immigrant artists from the 1930-1970s.

Gil & Moti developed a special audio tour for the exhibition that connects the personal side, that of their own Jewish family background and migration history, with contemporary Israeli themes. In this, they experiment with existing presentation methods of historical museums. They’ve also made a series of videos showing intimate video conversations between the artists and their parents.

Jewish Life in Germany: Past and Present

The new core exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Jewish Life in Germany: Past and Present exhibition, is divided into five historical chapters. It spans from the beginnings of Jewish life in Ashkenaz, through the emancipation movement, the Enlightenment, and to the present. A large space is dedicated to National Socialism and “After 1945,” where topics such as restitution and reparation are the central themes. The “final chorus” brings the polyphony of contemporary Jewish together in a video installation. The subsequent tour of the exhibition combines historical narrative with insights into Jewish culture and religion by uncovering the sacred aspects of Judaism and exploring what happens on Shabbat. This exhibition includes a presentation of objects, art installations, hands-on stations, and unique virtual reality section spanning two levels of the museum for visitors to enjoy.
