Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up in Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, a village where Jewish and Palestinian families live together by choice – for a long time, her role as a peace activist seemed prewritten. “Coexistence, My Ass!” follows her transformation into a satirist who, through stand-up comedy and political satire, finds an uncompromising voice and confronts her audience with hard truths – even when laughter gets stuck in the throat.
After the screening, a conversation will take place on the shift from coexistence to co-resistance and the current situation in Israel Palestine. What do these concepts mean politically and culturally, and at what point do art and satire inevitably begin to have societal impact?
Sophie Asmus, a former development aid worker in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and a member of the Amnesty coordination group for Israel/Occupied Palestinian Territory, will be in conversation with Noga Lilli Gerzon, a multidisciplinary artist and writer exploring the intersections of visual culture, politics, jewish identity, and philosophy, and Lukas Graf, an artist and media scholar who researches autofiction in filmmaking as an aesthetic approach for connecting to an unavailable past.
Presented by UCM.ONE in cooperation with Amnesty International Deutschland, Friends of Standing Together and Moviemento
