On 26 April 1986 the world went through one of the biggest technogen catastrophes – explosion and meltdown at Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The echo of that disaster was spread all around the globe and the amount of victims will most probably never be know due to secrecy of the soviet bureaucratic machine. But back in the 80s it was clear that the Chornobyl will stay in the lives of people for very long time. We gather 40 years later to remember what was happening back then, talk about the consequences and why it is important to talk about the place today, with it’s occupation by russian troops, drone strike and continuous maintenance of the huge sarcophagus that protects the rest of the world from the mistakes of the humankind.
The Soviet Empire is long gone, and Chornobyl is one of the monuments to it’s collapse, reminds us that we have to be careful with technology that can destroy us all.
The event will be in the format of reading parts of memories those who were affected by Chornobyl, but also facts and figures about past and present with a discussion afterwards on what we can learn from the past not to repeat the mistakes in the modern technological world.
The event will be in german and english language.
There will be snacks and drinks at the bar.
