The contemporary witness project "My documenta" was launched in 2013 in cooperation with Hessischer Rundfunk, Freie Radio Kassel and Offener Kanal Kassel.

Kassel citizens, local actors and visitors, especially to the early documenta exhibitions, gave interviews that focused on their individual experiences, insights and memories. The result was 10 interviews, 7 of which are available online.

The recordings usually took place in the studio of Offener Kanal Kassel. They were broadcast both on the Free Radio programme and on Offener Kanal Kassel.

The participants in the talks include:

Volker Schäfer
