The Ancestry by Jemek Jemowit

The Ancestry is a direct continuation of Jemowits video work "The Poles of Berlin" (31.05.2024–26.01.2026, BERLIN GLOBAL, Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin). While the video features interviews with Berliners of Polish descent about their experiences with racism, Jemowit’s latest release tackles European racism more broadly and examines racist patterns in supposedly left-wing circles, such as the β€œWhite Savior Syndrome.” He also addresses the term β€œrace,” which is enshrined in Germany’s Basic Law to protect people of different β€œraces” but remains a taboo when used to describe individuals. This contradiction, coupled with his own experiences with active and passive racism and the growing shift to the political right in Germany, motivated Jemowit to create this project.
