In collaboration with the Staatsarchiv Chemnitz, ASA-FF, and the initiative NSU – Offener Prozess, this seminar invites students to engage with practices of remembrance and public memorials.
The project around a digital and physical memorial space dedicated to the victims and those affected by the NSU complex unfolds both online and in situ. During critical research and conceptual development we examine the political structures and local and wider entanglements that enabled acts of right-wing extremist violence in Chemnitz.
Re:member the Future III culminates in an exhibition at the Dokumentationszentrum NSU-Komplex auflösen in Chemnitz, on 5th of July 2025.
Between 2001 and 2010, the National Socialist Underground (NSU), a neo-Nazi terror group, carried out a series of racially motivated murders and bombings—supported by a dense network within the far-right milieu of Jena, Chemnitz, and Zwickau. The broader project and exhibition Offener Prozess examines the NSU complex through the lens of East German societal dynamics, particularly in Saxony, tracing the interwoven narratives of migration, systemic racism, and sustained resistance.
Drawing on the concept of living memory, the project "NSU Komplex auflösen" by ASA FF centers marginalized perspectives, while critically exposing the structural and institutional conditions that fostered—and continue to perpetuate—right-wing atrocities.
