OEZ erinnern!

An event marking the 10th anniversary of the right-wing terrorist attack at the Olympia Shopping Center in Munich

We remember: Armela, Can, Dijamant, Guiliano, Hüseyin, Roberto, Sabine, Selçuk, and Sevda

Ten years after the right-wing terrorist and racist attack at the Olympia Shopping Center in Munich, many questions remain unanswered. On this day, we want to explore these questions in various ways and come together in remembrance.

We will screen the film “Looking Back” by Mila Zhluktenko and Daniel Asadi Faezi. The filmmakers will be present and will speak afterward about the making of their film. Sibel and Hasan Leyla, Can’s parents, will also be present and will speak about their work on the “10th Anniversary Campaign: Still Many Unanswered Questions...” The campaign was developed in collaboration with family members and the initiative MÜNCHEN ERINNERN! The event will be moderated by Sapir von Abel, curator for education and outreach and a member of the curatorial team for the Munich art and culture festival “ausARTen—A Change of Perspective Through Art.”

“Looking Back”
Migrant workers build a shopping center for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. In 2016, the same location becomes the scene of a racist, far-right attack. “And now this hatred,” a woman remarks in Sohrab Shahid Saless’s film *Recipient Unknown* (1983). “Looking Back” is an attempt to examine historical continuities of racism in Germany from a cinematic perspective.
