Experience Jewish Identities and Antisemitism in Punk in Augsburg

Jewish Identities and Antisemitism in Punk: An Evening about Subculture, Belonging, and Attitude

On October 14, 2026, the Jewish Museum Augsburg Schwaben invites you to a book presentation and a discussion at the Provino Club. The focus is on the current anthology Jewish Identities and Antisemitism in Punk, which connects Jewish perspectives, punk history, and antisemitism-critical debates.

Punk as a Space for Empowerment and Contradiction

Punk has represented empowerment, individuality, and the subversive play with identities since its beginnings in the 1970s. Jewish protagonists have significantly shaped this pop subculture. The evening looks at this history and simultaneously questions why even alternative and politically left scenes are not automatically protected from antisemitic dynamics.

Book Presentation with Tina Sanders and Monty Ott

The social scientist and publicist Tina Sanders, as well as the political and religious studies scholar Monty Ott, are contributors to the anthology. In conversation with Georg Tiroch from Artists Against Antisemitism Augsburg, they will present their approaches and open a nuanced discussion about Jewish identity, memory culture, intersectionality, queerness, and political education.

Societal Debate in a Special Atmosphere

The Provino Club provides the setting for an evening that combines cultural events and political education. The audience's mood arises from concentrated listening, open questions, and direct exchange about a subculture whose history is characterized by both resistance and contradictions. For event planning, the evening aims for a low-threshold approach: Admission is free, and registration is not required.

Integration into the Jewish Culture Week Augsburg Schwaben

The event is part of the Jewish Culture Week Augsburg Schwaben*26, organized by the Jewish Museum Augsburg Schwaben. The evening targets people interested in punk, Jewish life, political culture, antisemitism criticism, and societal debates.

Conclusion: An Evening for Curious and Alert Perspectives

Visitors can expect an informed book presentation followed by a discussion about identity, belonging, and how to deal with antisemitism in punk culture. Those who want to connect political education with cultural debate and gain new perspectives on Jewish punk will experience a relevant and stimulating evening at the Provino Club.
