Talk Show: Multiple Crises

The experience of its founders, Esra Karakaya and Djenna Wehenpohl, shows that while empathy exists, the broader context is often missing. Crises are discussed side by side but rarely considered in relation to one another, regardless of how closely they are linked geographically or historically.

Against this backdrop, the talk show “Multiple Crises” is conceived as a public space for dialogue, in which different contexts of violence are not viewed in isolation but rather in relation to one another. The central question is what becomes visible when crises are considered in relation to one another: Which patterns repeat themselves? Which narratives legitimize violence? Which forms of collective forgetting shape public debates? And what role does Germany play as a media, political, and social context for the perception of these crises?

The talk show is part of the curatorial framework “Relational Work, Relational Power” established by KARAKAYA TALKS. It creates a space where different perspectives come together, knowledge is shared, and complex interconnections become visible, without reducing the multifaceted nature of the topics to simple answers.
