Living Memory: British-German Memory Culture in London

In May 2020 the world was trying to recover from the first global wave of coronavirus. At that point, no one realized how many more waves would follow and how many more people would die. Still, it was obvious that the pandemic was a serious threat to cultural diversity, which needs personal contact. For this reason, the German Embassy and the Goethe-Institut in London invited creative minds from all over the UK to confront this challenge conceptually and digitally. Stand Together and Go Virtual was a call to think deeply about how we could equip our world culturally for the post-Covid era and at the same time encourage a critical debate about the effects of the virtual or digital realm on art and culture.
