good news despite the pandemic we'll be seeing a lot of cultural events this year what is significant for 2021 the 10th anniversary of the arab spring what remains of the dream for change and we celebrate 1700 years of jewish life in germany how has it influenced culture plus the 100th birthday of joseph boyce artist revolutionary but 1st to germany's most ambitious cultural project. destroyed demolished rebuilt. buildings are as controversial as the then palace in the heart of the city if you have such a turban past. now return to its former glory. it's hoped the reconstructed

building will help you the scars left by imperialism war and congress and. this year the palace will finally be opened to the public. the palace served as the seeds of the one silent dynasty from the mid 15th century. it was later home to crashes in frederick the fast and was largely destroyed in the 2nd world war. in 1950 communist east germany had it demolished and replaced by the palace of the republic opening in 1976 that served as the seat of the east german parliament and an arts and entertainment center for the people. but after german reunification when it was found to contain asbestos it was closed and got it. 'd in 2002 the german parliament voted to build something new in its place to the dismay

of many who saw the building essential to east german history the last sections were torn down some years later. the plan was to build a forum dedicated to world culture has the competition to design the new landmark was won by italian architect franco stella. he foresaw a building that juxtaposed the reconstruction of the original palace with contemporary elements. business made at 1st with most of all by this isn't a building you look at and say oh another old building it's clear that there are contradictions and contrasts and that idea is reflected in the architecture inside as well also in terms of the concept. if you fit. in they 2012 diggers and 5000 wooden stakes that once supported the palace will set. the foundation stone for germany's most ambitious. and expensive cultural project

ever was ceremonially laid 6 months later and. sculptors and stone masons reconstructed elements of the baroque the sod with the help of historic persia graphs and sketches. the facade was financed partly with funds raised by the association of friends of the bell and palace its managing director is bill hemmer fund would be the policy has been of greater importance to berlin than any of the building of your original castle was built in 1443 when the population of the city was 4 or 5000 berlin then evolved around the building like tree rings until it became the city we know today spreading wouldn't be what it is without that building. in some a 2020 and lantern final flourish was put on the new buildings cubana the building was complete now the next challenge is to find it inspired by its namesakes but helen and alexander from humboldt 2 titans of 19th century science and learning the

venue will showcase cultures of the world housing the collections of the who bought university the stock museum berlin foundation and the city's when and ethnological museum and museum for asian art. the overarching concept is a subject of keen debates especially the question of art acquired during the colonial era when houses for. a building like this is built to last for ever. do we really still want to have these symbols these testimonies to injustice in the heart of europe cities bob. in 2017 the transfer of billions in the logical and asian and connections to the city center began artifacts were removed from the glass cabinets in their previous home carefully cleaned taking the polish meticulously restored and shipped across town. trucks transported them not just another. it's

a cross night time for them and loading them into the one boat for a 3 a vast wind. some 20000 objects in terms of. including many of the known provenance which were illegally come by in germany's former colonies. looted on an issue that 1000000000 continues to wrestle with. no wonder stick obedience between figures are the province of these artifacts of their origins their history and biography from production and original function are available to how they came into german possession and ended up in german collections as these issues have become a focal point of research in recent years it's mushtaq and in focus could one such artifact comes from the kingdom of in what became cameron a former german colony the member year of the throne of king joy. he supposedly gifted the friends of the german empress their head of the 2nd in 19 to strengthen

the relationship with the german clare new routines but how voluntary was the gift rate. in half of today's camera in such threads are not needed displayed in museums but remain powerful political symbols of some art form as michael just told forum is a good opportunity to explain with these artifacts actually came from how are they seem to they have the items that have any significance and of sue for whom are very terms that once had significance but have gained another now that they are displayed in museums can they get a new significance as museums exhibits or should they be returned. to return such artifacts are growing louder the been named bronzes said to be prominently displayed in the humboldt forum are among the most controversial of its exhibits looted an ac 97 by british troops there some of africa's. the greatest

treasure. gets not trivial as it towards one woman is now we have a situation that means we can look at this building and saying the brock facade with its suggestion of dominion is a sharp contrast to the tale of colonial history that the are the facts on the splay insight tell and that is correct. but we also need to bear in mind that the logical and asian art collections also give a lot of colonial context but that's not always it's not the defining feature of the value just plain elemental. what precisely will be displayed in the long awaited home both for him and how remains to be seen in the course of 2021 we will finally find out. this is what else we can look forward to cultural highlights that were meant for 2020 and are now coming our way such as james bond due to the corona pandemic and

cinemas being shut down the british special agent had to keep postponing his 25th mission. can bond save movie theaters because this is no time to die we'll find out at the end of march when the film is scheduled for release. in venice the 17th international architecture exhibition will also be opening in 2021 with $63.00 participants and 3 countries there for the 1st time iran is back to start and granada. starting the 22nd of may everything will revolve around the question how will we live together an important global question in times of political divide and growing economic inequalities mean you. mean.

and the festivities for his 250th birthday in vaughan were also postponed now in 2021 the great composer will be duly celebrated beginning in summer when hopefully the worst of the pandemic will be over and the beethoven festivities will continue throughout the year because there's so much to discover. but now we look to another anniversary to egypt where 10 years ago the people rose on them to protest for more freedom. in january 20th 1125000 people demonstrated in cairo for a new egypt for an end to the mubarak regime and for democracy the weeks and months of protests are referred to as the arab spring when people in neighboring countries also took to the streets after a few weeks that thousands turned into millions bringing together farmers with young people and intellectuals such as the successful are there are lawless one me

in a d.-w. interview he explained below for you know remnants of the old ruling party are still in power as of the old security forces people are still being arrested and tortured but now we have a voice with the purpose of 10 years later on this one you know there's an exile in new york we arranged a video interview with him his novel the republic of lance truths which tells the tale of an unfinished revolution is said to be published in german and english but the story is far from over print and i believe that egyptians surely know egypt despite. its shit. egyptians will leave. egypt should. forgive me i will shoot a lot. forget the 6 year. old little age 40. yes young

people will be given you should they will all. the novel originally published in 2018 is about the 2011 protests and recounts the story of those cheering for egypt to transition peacefully the young and the disillusioned to see the opportunity for something new but it is also the smell of those who fight the protesters and stand alongside those in power. there was great hope when president hosni mubarak stepped down under the pressure but the people's disappointment proved all the greater once his old comrades in arms to go over power palace one he knows the subject of the serial all too well because he was one of the initiators of the demonstrations his novel doesn't tell how events transpired but we know the story of what mubarak was brought to justice and sentenced to life in prison for corruption and abuse of office and 2012 the fundamentalists 200 morsi of the muslim brotherhood then became

president and 2013 the military completed a successful coup against morsi who was then arrested and since then abdel fatah azizi has been president of egypt in the country's darkest hour get. everything. has to be approved by. many people i have seen for egypt at the lect worlds lot of multigrade little more still flat roads out of under el-sisi alice one he was immediately banned from publishing his work even though he is considered one of the leading writers of his homeland his novels in essays have been translated into nearly 60 languages and millions of copies of be sold. his latest novel however could no longer be published in egypt in arabic but only in lebanon nevertheless unless one . he knows that despite the ban his book is selling as

a legally pirated copies. very good neighbor teaches of illinois sleazy but she's absolutely called the cult of the relation of the right and she said listen i i got your novel and i had the female calls my friends. i'm very reluctant to read the novel because i don't want to change by looking. and then after that she didn't she had an open and she called me in and your 2 cents very good thing she said you know you succeeded to present day human history of the revolution and i was judging the political system and i said listen i mean the human history is what the literature should do. polish swanny never wanted to leave egypt his homeland but when

a military tribunals threatened to try him in court for insulting the authorities he went into exile and 2017. now he lives in new york where he teaches at universities holds online writing workshops and publishes political analysis on you tube and he continues to write. it political like this right at a wall is so old just struggle that i think writing. is a way to express well you lot to the people you with your love the people it is always. reciprocate thank you very much bye bye. next up marking the occasion of a very special anniversary jewish life has existed in germany for 1700 years in all its diversity liveliness and complexity. your.

car can offer the world and i'm wrong it's not. going. to the installation of the jewish museum or for live that makes this array of forces audible the 1st 3 is being celebrated throughout the year especially at the jewish museum with a new permanent exhibition focusing on 1700 years of jewish life in germany and it water fountain come on sag and you might say the central theme is the relationship between jews and the non jewish society. and the dynamic between belonging and exclusion so i won't always get in so it's a relationship full of ups and downs in 3. didn't 21 any d. major was allowed to hold an official office for the 1st time but for centuries

jews were only tolerated on german soil of the being ostracized and excluded from most professions in the middle ages individual enclaves flourished under the protection of the bishops yet the real hot buttons were recurrently driven out the famed and persecuted. in the 17th century those look enough to be needed by princes as bankers and financial advisors were issued letters guaranteeing their protection as privileged of course jews. but they remained dependent. of the enlightenment of the evening centuries really gave jews hope of emancipation as freedom of religion equality and human rights were said to apply to all. at the same time the great philosopher moses mendelssohn wished to reform his faith desiring a modern judaism in step with german culture. he translated

the hebrew bible into german because he wanted his children to learn german boy he wanted them to be able to participate in society and kwanzaa. this major shift stimulated the lively exchange of ideas between writers and philosophers jews and jews business science and culture the painter max lever. and the physicist albert einstein are some of the big jewish names in german society. then yes then bell creek if you look at world war one lots of jews ortez soldiers come on. at the time that was a sign that they had become part of society and they really felt german. deutsche. but from the beginning of the nazi dictatorship jews. were systematically excluded from society disenfranchised persecuted forced into exile and before

933 around half a 1000000 jews lived in germany. to write it for 5 there are only a few 1000. trains a blight on german society i think the holocaust is that really not the holocaust is still a very important point in jewish history in germany and in all of europe. but what's new in the current exhibition is that it's no longer presented as the end of that history the present here to be aired that's because there's been a resurgence of judaism in germany since the ninety's the jews are coming from russian politics. even israel for the country carried out the holocaust. today there are more than 200000 jews living in germany.

but anti semitism is also on the rise of attacks in broad daylight 2019 some right wing terrorist attack on a synagogue in the city of shocking event was a warning sign. that's make me think if there's a mention me i missed the most important thing is that people learn more about jews and jewish life and. many of these anti semitic ideas come from a lack of information and knowledge. so we have a very important task to bring visitors in contact with this culture. it's been a part of what i now call german culture since the middle ages then and there. couture at least that's precisely the goal of this year's events across the country under the banner of 1700 years of jewish life in germany.
