Gruppe Wissenslücke came together out of a need to make sense of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We have been meeting weekly since early November 2023, conducting film screenings, readings and seminars focused on unlearning entan­glements of violence, oppression and colonial structures in Palestine-Israel, Germany and elsewhere. Initiated by students of the UdK, our counter-pedagogy collective has now grown into an alliance of stu­dents, activists and art workers focussing on critically unlearning entanglements of violence, oppres­sion and colonial structures.

We are a group of people coming from different positions, united by a politics to center and support the Palestinian voices within our group against institutional violence and silencing. We have a collective com­mitment to challenging anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian-racism and anti-Judaism, by making it trans­parent how institutions manipulate and intrumentalise marginalised identities.
