weiterwirken | Jule Hellmich „Zeitensprache- Perspectives of Resistance“

„weiterwirken-Frauen im Widerstand“ is dedicated to the often overlooked life stories of women from Bochum who offered resistance during the National Socialist era – politically, civically, culturally and mostly in secret.

In an installation, pictures and texts, we make female resistance visible, memories are brought to life in an animated film and local resistance stories are told from a current perspective.

„As a historian and writer, the topic appealed to me on two levels: in terms of local history and in terms of topicality.“
– Jule Hellmich

Jule Hellmich studied German language and literature and art history in Bochum. She writes texts that oscillate between big-city poetry and apocalyptic romanticism, repeatedly transcending the boundaries of their genre.

Dorothee Schäfer trained as a stonemason and sculptor in Munich. During her ten years at the Protestant parish of Bochum in Stahlhausen, she organised various exhibitions and festivals, including the Masala Art Festival and the bobiennale. In her artistic practice, she specialises in sculpture and drawing. Schäfer has been supporting the Fritz Bauer Forum for several years with her expertise in exhibition curation and educational work through art.
