The exhibition addresses Berlin's centuries-long involvement in the global history of slavery and colonialism and critically examines this violent past.
It looks at three prominent sites of coloniality in Berlin-Mitte: the Museum Nikolaikirche as the burial site of colonial actors, the (post)colonial area monument of the "African Quarter" and the historical site of the Berlin Africa Conference of 1884/85 at Wilhelmstrasse 92.
The colonial racism of public places is not only made visible. Rather, it is overwritten with resistant African, Asian and diasporic perspectives.
"Decolonial - what remains?!" marks the conclusion of the first project phase of Decolonial Culture of Remembrance in the City. The exhibition asks what it means to remember consistently and sustainably.
