#12 Anger

‘Are you afraid of your anger?’

In central Hannover, we asked passers-by to write about their anger. Eighteen people took part – some hesitantly, others without a second thought.

‘Where have you taken me?’

Dementia doesn’t only make people forget – it can also make them feel more intensely. Sometimes what is left, above all, is anger at a world they no longer understand. Three people tell us what that means.

The return of the Fury

In patriarchal societies, women are expected to stay calm and understanding. When they get angry, they are suddenly called ‘Furies’. But perhaps Furies have simply understood how much strength lies in female anger. A personal exploration by Paula Tauber.

Anger is often seen as a feeling best kept in check. Our twelfth focus topic asks what happens when we let it out – or don’t.

At a wooden table in central Hannover, strangers write down whether they are afraid of their own anger. Frieda Gabke and Anna Daliah Behnke tell the stories of people with dementia for whom anger is often what remains. And Paula Tauber asks how bad it really is to be a ‘Fury’.

This focus topic is still growing: new stories will be added throughout November and December 2026.
