Death affects every person. And yet, it is pushed to the outskirts of our society by the longing for immortality. Death Spells is a German-Egyptian talk-cooking show where experts engage in conversation while preparing a funeral feast, which is then eaten with the audience.
In the international cooking talk show Death Spells, ancient Egyptian rituals and contemporary social media are examined. Together with Mena El Shazly, an experimental performance was developed that is inspired by popular TV cooking and talk shows.
The fear of being forgotten and the longing for immortality is not only reflected in the ubiquitous self-presentation on social media. It is also expressed in ancient Egypt. Our guests are experts on the topic of death and social media. The show takes place simultaneously in Mannheim and Cairo – the live audience and the live stream audience alternate between guests from the different locations.

On August 26, 1984, seven people lost their lives in a racist arson attack in Duisburg-Wanheimerort: Ferdane Satır, Zeliha Turhan, Rasim Turhan, Tarık Turhan, Çiğdem Satır, Ümit Satır, and Songül Satır. The survivors and relatives were left alone for decades—politicians, authorities, and the public did not talk about racism.
It was not until 2018 that they founded the Duisburg 1984 initiative, which has since combined education, remembrance work, and solidarity struggles with other victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence.

Do you have an idea for an art education project and would like to learn how to develop a concept and apply for funding? We offer a two-day training course at the Brücke-Museum on how to apply for funding, financial planning and legal forms. Participants have time to develop an educational concept. A selected concept will later be realized in the Brücke-Museum.
The workshop is primarily aimed at artists or artists with a history of migration. If there is still capacity, freelancers without a history of migration can also take part.
Date: September 15 and 29, 12am–5pm (two-day training course)
