NAMEN, DIE WIR TRAGEN

Some names arouse great expectations, others are met with prejudice. It also happens that a name changes with a major life decision. But every name has a very special, usually very personal story behind it. The artist Michikazu Matsune will collect stories about first names before and during the festival and present them together with the workshop participants. Names We Carry is a collective portrait of unique individuals full of unspectacular-spectacular personal stories.
A co-production of Michikazu Matsune, Festival OSTEN/Kulturpark e.V. and the Humboldt Forum Foundation at the Berlin Palace. The Humboldt Forum Foundation at the Berlin Palace is sponsored by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media on the basis of a resolution of the German Bundestag.
