The Podcast “Invisible Wound” von Sharon Ryba-Kahn is part of the project “Hakara – facing transgenerational trauma” by AMCHA Germany. In one episode, we meet Jacqueline Saki Aslan, a German-Yazidi artist who was born in Germany to speak about the meaning of collective, transgenerational trauma in her work and personal life as we do with all of our guests on Invisible Wound. In 2014, the Islamic state committed genocide against Yazidis. How did she respond and feel when the genocide was committed against her brothers and sisters, and how did her environment respond to her? She draws many conclusions, but one aspect is key, namely her deep belief that “joy as a way of resistance.”
Trauma in Art & Practice
Collection of artworks, images and exhibitions photos related to transsomatic trauma
Can we see ourselves reflected in surfaces, structures and textures? Dorothee Krings (Berlin) has been, and continues to be, a photographer, amongst many other things. In recent years, she has organised private ‘trauma salons’, where participants could share personal perspectives on their own histories, their wounds and how they cope with them. For her, macro photography is an imaging technique that visually reveals what seems impossible: the deeper layers of time. Her images speak of the fragility of our world and, by extension, of our own vulnerability.
