Salon im BUSCH

Salon at BUSCH - Resistance in Hanover about occupation, blockade and protest actions

Do you remember the Red Dot campaign? Or the Gorleben-Track, which is still the largest demonstration in Lower Saxony with 100,000 people in Hanover?

These are just two examples of Hanover's vigilant civil society. Over the past 50 years, various initiatives have campaigned for issues such as climate protection, the fight against the shift to the right, equal rights and the lack of self-determined cultural spaces. The forms of protest culture have changed, become more diverse and have never lost their topicality.

In this salon at BUSCH, we want to ask: What drives the people behind the initiatives? How do urban society, neighborhoods, the press and politics view them? What effect do the forms of protest have? And how has the culture of protest changed over the last 50 years?

The occupation and appropriation of buildings and squares as part of the Chaos Days still characterize the culture of the city of Hanover today. Author Hollow Skai and editor Klaus Abelmann will describe how punk came to Hanover around 50 years ago.

Cultural centers such as the Glocksee, the Korn or the Faust show the changing means by which spaces were appropriated and are still appropriated today. Luna Jurado from the Faust cultural center will outline the challenges that need to be overcome.

However, not only occupying spaces is an act of resistance, but initiatives such as bunt statt braun also draw attention to the dangers of the shift to the right with actions and demonstrations. Insa Becker-Wook will report on the work of the initiative.

You are also invited to talk directly to the guests during the break, ask the panel lively questions and share your perceptions of the protest culture in Hanover.

We look forward to a lively debate!
