In the lecture, the author explains how the hashtag #WirhabenPlatz (“we have space”), which was created by Twitter users in Germany to express and mobilize solidarity for the refugees, who were met with police violence at the Greek-Turkish border in February 2020, was hijacked by the far right. Ana Makhashvili pays particular attention to the affective media practices used by far-right publics.

This publication appears in "Affective Formation of Publics. Places, Networks, and Media".
