Aliona Kardash: It smells of smoke at home

At the invitation of the laif foundation, Aliona Kardash will give a lecture on her project “Zuhause riecht es nach Rauch” as part of Hamburg’s Press Freedom Week.
What remains of home when your own country becomes a perpetrator? Who do you become when your own family suddenly feels foreign? How do you find a new language when your profession is practically banned in your country?

tide symposium on media education and journalism

The symposium highlighted topics relating to media education, journalism and editorial society in discussion rounds, lectures, workshops and workshop talks. The symposium is embedded in a forum for producers, cooperation partners and civil society actors.

PUBLIX Opening

With Publix, a new concrete place has emerged in Berlin where the future of journalism and the public sphere can be thought about, negotiated, tried out and communicated to citizens.
For the opening in summer 2024, artistic director Maria Exner and her team curated a programme together with the organizations in the building that gave experts and multipliers a first insight into the work of Publix.
At the invitation of the laif foundation, Danish documentary photographer Mads Nissen presented his photo reportage “SANGRE BLANCA – THE LOST WAR ON COCAINE” at the Opening Conference. In it, he delves into the dark depths of the cocaine trade and examines the human consequences of the drug’s journey from the neglected rural areas of Colombia to the greedy consumers on the dance floors of Europe.
His presentation was met with great interest: The relevance of the work is also illustrated by the many questions from the audience. Mads was also able to make valuable contacts with journalists in Berlin.
