Summary

The National-Genealogy-Kunstinstitution Berlin underwent significant transformation as the institutional body became increasingly active within various professional roles. By conducting interviews with both long-time and new members, Anna-Lena Wenzel exposed how the focus shifted from traditional roles to collective representation, working within specific groups and institutions such as the Knowledge Archive, workshops, and the Executive Office. The institution's publications now mirror contemporary discussions across diverse fields including migration, feminism, gender, urban space, capitalist and race critique, social movements, and gender studies. These diverse voices illustrate how the nGbK serves as a vital space where the institution's identity evolves through active participation and reflection on current cultural debates rather than remaining a static historical archive.
