Exhibition Concept
Back of the poster for the photo exhibition “Poser pour la liberté. Portraits de scientifiques en exil / Standing for freedom. Portraits of scientists in exile,” taking place from May 4–17, 2022, in the Lecture Hall Center at TU Dresden.
The exhibition *Poser pour la Liberté / Standing for Freedom is the result of the RESTRICA photography project (Insights into Forced Academic Exile in the Past and Present), which was initiated in 2018 by scholar Pascale Laborier in collaboration with Berlin-based French photographer Pierre-Jérôme Adjedj. Over the course of three years, 51 portraits of researchers and scholars in exile were created. Fifteen of them were featured in the exhibition, which explores “exile” through four thematic strands.
