Unravelling the NSU complex

From 2000 onwards the “National Socialist Underground” (NSU), a neo-Nazi terrorist network, carried out an unprecedented series of murders across Germany. For a long time–until the terrorist core cell exposed itself in 2011–the interpretive horizon of the media, politicians and the authorities did not consider racist motives. The investigations were without exception directed against the victims themselves and their family members, ignoring hints and statements by the witnesses suggesting white and presumably racist perpetrators.

A selection of videos, developed by initiatives and individuals, activist and artists, working in solidarity with those targeted by the series of murders and attacks by the NSU identify blind spots within the investigation and shed light on the racist conditions that allow right-wing networks to grow and make their actions possible in the first place.

About Festival

The Fotograf Festival explores intersections in photography and contemporary art – just like its partner projects – Fotograf Gallery and Fotograf Magazine. Festival is held in Autumn months and it presents current topic through solo as well as group exhibitions prepared in cooperation with invited domestic or foreign curators in various Prague galleries and institutions. A series of discussions, atist talks, site-specific events, public space exhibitions, projections and guided/commented tours accompany that exhibition program. Fotograf Festival is the only thematic- and curator-conceived photography festival in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to promote the photographic medium and its broader integration into contemporary art and into the conscience of the general public.

The discussions, at which invited experts debate each other on the current festival theme in the context of visual art, are meant not only for the expert public, but for the lay public as well. Fotograf Festival looks to build a tradition and a new platform for a photography festival that places Prague among other important centers for photography and the visual arts in Europe.  It strives to share contemporary photographic art and the creation of a thematically-focused space where the general public and experts from around the world can meet.
