Ende Teil 1: Nan Goldin

The more of us there are, the more of us there are.

Teil 2: Klaus Biesenbach

As I mentioned before, I'm also allowed to speak.

As I mentioned in my introduction earlier,

I disagree with your opinion.

Still, I stand for your right to express yourself tonight.

I hope I'm also allowed to express myself tonight.

The prime mission of the Neue Nationalgalerie

is to share exceptional and important art with the public.

We, as a museum in Berlin,

consolidate our responsibility and role

to offer space for debate for urgent issues

that are often left unspoken.

Our work is grounded in essential values

and are non-negotiable.

Israel's right to existence is beyond question for us.

The Hamas attack on the Jewish state on October 7th, 2023

was a cruel act of terror

that cannot be justified by anything.

This also applies to the abduction of innocent people.

We insist on the release of the remaining hostages.

When Jews are threatened or persecuted

simply because they're Jewish, we show our solidarity.

At the same time, we emphasize with civilians

in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon

whose suffering cannot be overlooked.

All people in the Middle East have the right

to live without fear and with the assurance of their safety.

We advocate for a peaceful solution for the Middle East.

As a museum, we are deeply committed

for freedom of heart and freedom of expression.

Even in places, we disagree with that opinion.

What's extremely important is our commitment

to the dignity of every human individual.

Why are you not listening to me?

Which requires a strong opposition

to any kind of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism,

and all other forms of hate, bigotry and violence.

We have to agree with historical responsibility

here in Berlin and in Germany.

We do believe that these commitments are hand in hand

and need to apply equally to everyone.

This is why we reject the logic of cultural boycott

as in the case in the compare of the BDS.

We not allow cause for incitement to violence,

to legitimization of tribulation,

acts of terrorism, the injury in killing of civilians

or support of terrorist organizations.

The Neue Nationalgalerie is a space where freedom of expression

and spectrum exchange are possible.

We are grateful that art and art spaces

can still allow diverging perspectives

to coexist and increasingly polarize world.

Thank you for being here tonight.

Thank you for being here tonight.
