Opening 'we dreamt of utopia and we woke up screaming. all before... all after...'

28.03.2025, 20:00 — 23:00 Opening

We warmly invite you for the opening of we dreamt of utopia and we woke up screaming. all before… all after… by Yasmina Reggad on Friday, March 28, 2025, .

For this new exhibition in our chapel, Yasmina Reggad transforms an archive of revolutionary voices into a living sonic space, where historical events and contemporary political struggles converge through activist echoes from the archives of the Algerian television broadcaster (RTA) from the 1960s to the 1980s. As a visitor, you are invited to actively participate, reconstructing lost histories, amplifying voices of resistance, and contributing to a dynamic, ever-growing archive.

Beyond the physical installation, the exhibition extends online with a 24-hour livestream. we dreamt of utopia and we woke up screaming. all before… all after… highlights the urgency of resistance and solidarity, inviting reflection on collective action and liberation.

The exhibition runs from Saturday, March 29, until Sunday, June 15, but we would love to welcome you for the opening on Friday, March 28!

Join us to explore the exhibition and meet the artist over drinks—or arrive at 7:00 PM to experience Scream Manifesto, the deafening performance by Hoda Siahtiri and Azertyklavierwerke, presented as part of Break the Silence, the closing weekend of our church exhibition Silent Times.
