Call for Artists with Tatar Roots – Project "Polyphonic Memories"

We are looking for an artist with Tatar roots to collaborate on a listening session or lecture performance scheduled for February 16, 2025. The project focuses on historical audio recordings of Tatar prisoners of war from World War I, preserved in the Lautarchiv of Humboldt University in Berlin.

The recordings, made between 1915 and 1918, were captured in German POW camps in Wünsdorf and Weinberge. They feature voices and songs from prisoners of diverse ethnic backgrounds, including many Tatars. Originally created for linguistic and ethnographic research, these materials now serve as a unique testament to the experiences and identities of an often-forgotten group during World War I.

We invite you to engage in an artistic dialogue with these materials, aiming to bring the voices of the past to life and establish connections with their descendants and today’s Tatar community. The session's format is intentionally open, with the central focus on working with the archive's materials.

What we are looking for:

An artist, ideally with a background in (sound) art, who is legally able to work in Germany.
Interest in creative engagement with historical recordings and documents.
Availability to develop and present the project by February 16, 2025.
About the Project: "Polyphonic Memories" is a series of events exploring the history of Tatar prisoners of war during World War I. The Lautarchiv's recordings document their voices, offering unique insights into the lives of an often-overlooked minority. The goal is to foster dialogue, education, and reflection.

This collaboration will be compensated. If you are interested, we look forward to hearing from you!
