00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:06.799
I am Anja Schäfer,

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:08.480
I am the artistic director

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.880
of the artist collective Sideviews,

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.759
and one of our projects is called
“Schattenmuseum“ (Shadow Museum)

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:19.679
and is invited by the DHM to contribute

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.879
to the exhibition on the Enlightenment.

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.839
We currently have about 10 to 15 people

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:26.839
that work on different
projects and

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.480
we aim to make museums
more youth-friendly.

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.000
My name is Fanuel,
I'm 15 years old.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.759
and I have been part of the
“Schattenmuseum“ for a year.

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.320
"I'm Jem, and I've been at
the “Schattenmuseum“ for a year

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.600
and I am 12 years old.

00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:41.439
My name is Ilona, I'm 16.

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.039
I'm Mariama, and I am 12 years old.

00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.679
My name is Lou,
I am 11 years old.

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:49.960
We heard about the Schattenmuseum

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.119
through an outreach
training program

00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.679
and my colleague
came to me

00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.960
and then said, these are exactly
the people we are looking for.

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.600
They are active, they have
different approaches.

00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.519
We try to make it as
interactive as possible,

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.799
so that young people have fun
and feel engaged.

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.079
and that the content

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.480
isn't as dry.

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:12.959
We are now dealing
with the topic

00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.920
of the current exhibition,

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.519
that is, the era of Enlightenment

00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.159
and we pick out aspects,

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.120
where we think,
they have potential and

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.840
importance, that one should look
into them more closely

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.640
and then we will
curate these in our own

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.400
small exhibition
and design them

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.560
and then we'll see

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.079
what comes out in the end.

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.280
The challenge was,
to design the space

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.439
in three workshop days.

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:36.799
and I believe we can
accomplish that.

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.480
The kids are also
quite good at curatorial thinking

00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.640
and I also found the support

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.400
from the German Historical Museum
in this case by Education

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.120
very good and very strong and

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.560
above all very sincere,

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.799
one does not encounter this
with all institutions.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:52.879


00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:54.840
So that was very, very cool.

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:55.719
My feeling is

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.040
actually very good at the museum.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.239
Of course there will probably
be a few bumps

00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:03.799
but in the end we will still

00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.400
put something very beautiful together.
