Exit Exil vs CHAPTER

Exit Exil - A location-based multimedia app on German-language exile In more than 30 artistic and scholarly contributions, the app "Exit Exil" recalls the exile of German-speaking artists and intellectuals in the 1930s and 40s and builds a bridge to cultural workers living in exile in Germany today. With contributions by renowned artists and authors, the mobile app "Exit Exil" gives users insights into German-language exile and related topics such as identity and belonging, flight and expulsion, language and work. The app looks into the lives of historical exiles as well as those living in the diaspora today. Among the contributors are Susan Philipsz, Michael Lentz, Tanja Kinkel, Senthuran Varatharajah, Anna Haifisch, Mohamed Amjahid. The basis is a world map on which the content is embedded. The contributions thus convey a sense of the scope of forced migration, while at the same time enabling a place-based and in-depth experience of the content on offer. Among the contributions are films, radio plays, audio walks and installations, features, and essays. The project is scheduled to run for ten years and will be successively expanded with further artistic, journalistic and scientific contributions to become a central platform for the examination of exile. Current debates about flight, identity, new beginnings and much more will take a central place. "Exit Exile" was developed within the framework of "dive in. Program for Digital Interactions" of the Federal Cultural Foundation, funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) in the NEUSTART KULTUR program.

You can use the CHAPTER app in the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition at the Humboldt Forum Berlin, in the museum of the Oskar Schindler Enamel Factory in Krakow, in your classroom or seminar room, or simply at home to learn more about populism. The app is anything but a boring museum guide: with interactive, digital tasks that function like a mixture of computer games and social media, the app takes you to different objects in the museum in different chapters. The chapters deal with a range of different topics, such as sport, posters, music or the Berlin currywurst - and, of course, what these topics have to do with populism. The more of the chapters you play through, the better you will understand how populism works and how it fuels conflicts in our society. This will help you to recognise and question populist strategies in your own everyday life. You can use the app directly on site in the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition at the Berlin City Museum in the Humboldt Forum in Berlin and the Oskar Schindler Enamel Factory museum in Krakow. You can also use the version for the Museum of London without being on site. Use is free of charge and the three versions are available in the respective national language and in English. The CHAPTER app was developed by the academic research project ‘Challenging Populist Truth-Making in Europe’ (CHAPTER for short) at the University of Tübingen, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, University College London and Jagellonian University (Krakow) in collaboration with the development company Fluxguide in Vienna. A special feature of the CHAPTER app is that the content was created together with young pupils and students. The project was funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.
