With Their Own Voice: Lunch Break in the Museum as a Thoughtful Encounter with Jewish Present

In the Municipal Museum Braunschweig, this lunch break in the museum combines exhibition atmosphere, conversation culture, and cultural education into a rich artistic experience. Ari Elbert, Chairperson of Keshet Deutschland e.V., speaks in the context of the special exhibition “With Their Own Voice. 75 Years of the Central Council of Jews in Germany” with Museum Director Dr. Peter Joch about queer Jewish life, visibility, and societal participation. This event is part of a series that connects the historical depth of the exhibition with current debate.

The Exhibition as a Reflection of Jewish Democracy History

“With Their Own Voice” unfolds a panorama of Jewish life in the Federal Republic at the House at Löwenwall. The exhibition was created in close cooperation with the Central Council of Jews in Germany and connects historical development lines with contemporary themes such as antisemitism, dialogue between religions, sports, media, and the acceptance of diverse sexual identities. Contemporary artistic positions also appear as part of this multifaceted curation.

Ari Elbert and the Perspective of Keshet Deutschland

Ari Elbert has been a member since 2019 and has been on the board of Keshet Deutschland e.V. since February 2023; the association advocates for the interests of queer Jewish people in Germany. The work of the association stands for visibility, dialogue, and inclusive spaces at the intersection of Judaism, queerness, education, and civil society engagement. This perspective gives the lunch break in the museum a special relevance. ([keshetdeutschland.de](https://keshetdeutschland.de/de/vorstand?utm_source=openai))

A Space for Artwork Reflection, Conversation, and Aesthetic Experience

The event unfolds its appeal not in distance but in immediate proximity: coffee and cake are included in the admission price, and the conversation opens the view on biography, memory, and present. This creates a discussion format that combines museum visits and content deepening and invites visitors to a reflective examination of the exhibition.
