80 years of the 1938 pogrom night in Hagen
An instrument against instrumentalization
An art initiative for (re)thinking
From 9.11. – 17.11.2018
Art initiative, idea, concept & curation: Slavica Stoltenhoff and Dietmar Schneider (Kooperative K)
Cooperation partners and institutions: Hagen Jewish Community, Hagen Youth Ring, Hagen Theatre,

Affected and at the same time inspired by the
article, in which the piano of the murdered Jewish butcher Simon Cohn*
plays a role, we set off 80 years later, at the beginning of April 2018,
in search of a piano from the 1920s/30s of the previous
century. We find what we are looking for. It gets a “new” yellow
coat of paint.
The yellow piano will be transported to schools,
retirement homes, marketplaces and other locations in the city area
and all (music-loving) people are invited to play the piano at
.
