Keine Freiheit ohne Pressefreiheit – 30 Jahre Reporter ohne Grenzen

In the organizer's words:

As part of the North Rhine-Westphalia state government's "Human Rights Week", the Bilker Bunker is hosting the photo exhibition "No freedom without freedom of the press". On display are photos from Rwanda, Colombia, Belarus and Myanmar.

The exhibition is dedicated to formative themes of "Reporters Without Borders" from the past six years. In "Love Radio" from 2018, photographer Anoek Steketee shows how radio reunites people in Rwanda after the genocide. In 2020, Andrés Cardona devoted himself to the ongoing murders in his private environment in Colombia in "The Eternal Nightmare". A year later, Violetta Savchits documented the protests in Belarus against the rigged presidential election in "Against the Superiority". In 2022, the work of an anonymous photographer from Myanmar who captured the "Uprising for Democracy" was impressive.

This is a scaled-down version of the show that Reporters Without Borders and the Museum Center for Persecuted Arts presented in Solingen from May to September 2024 together with the museum's sponsors and other supporters.

The exhibition can be seen on the 3rd floor of the Bilker Bunker from December 4 to 15 during regular opening hours. The admission fee of 4 euros (concessions 3 euros) also includes the show "Dark Star Backyard" with works by Anys Reimann on the first floor and 1st floor.
