How does food become a language of memory? What does it mean to grow old and die in Germany when your own story begins elsewhere? How can research be shared in ways that speak not about people, but with them?

The D03 subproject of CRC 1171 Affective Societies invites everyone interested to its public closing event. Under the title Việtdeutsche Gegenwarten, the project day brings together twelve years of research on psychosocial care, health, and community in Berlin’s Vietnamese-German lifeworlds and unfolds them in a dialogical format between scholarly reflection, artistic practice, and community knowledge.

The programme includes a culinary-ethnographic workshop on food, migration, and memory, a research salon on foodways, inequality, and racialised affective economies, a photo exhibition, a reading, a music set, and a scholarly panel on dying, death, and community care in Vietnamese Berlin. The day concludes with the premiere of a short film developed with artists as part of the Decoloniality and Reflexivity in Affect Studies fellowship of the CRC, followed by an artist conversation.
