How does the representation of history in social media affect how people see the world? That is what an exhibition in the SocialMediaHistory series is investigating. YouTuber and Terra-X moderator Mirko Drotschamnn is also taking part. The way history is presented in social media can contribute to social cohesion, for example by highlighting the importance of minorities in history, or looking at the shared history of divided communities. While it can build social cohesion, it can also destroy it, by providing false representations of history, denying genocide, or creating antagonistic stereotypes. The publicly available digital exhibition series within the SocialMediaHistory-History on Instagram and TikTok presented by Universität Hamburg and Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) explores both of these aspects. The event will take place on Zoom, you do not need to register. There will also be YouTube livestreams, but you will not be able to ask questions on that platform.
