About the event
The final event of the transnational network on education and memory of colonialism in Germany will take place on 13 and 14 December 2024. The network was established at a kick-off event in Hamburg between 26 and 28 January 2023 in order to advance debate and ideas for a new nationwide place of learning and remembrance of colonialism in Germany. The cooperation partners invited national and international experts from the fields of science, art, architecture and urban planning as well as key stakeholders from institutions and civil society to discuss the forms and means of remembrance and commemoration in relation to German colonialism. It was particularly important to include various transnational voices, positions and perspectives.
The network’s semi-public symposium taking place in Berlin, concludes the two-year joint process with national and transnational actors working on the topics of colonialism, coloniality and decolonial cultures of remembrance. The aim of the symposium is to collate, process and present to the public the ideas, utopias and visions discussed over a period of around 24 months. A comprehensive publication, due for publication next year, will document the process, present the results and formulate recommendations.
In the context of current debates on the politics of remembrance, a space will be created in which reflection and exchange on the forms, content, affects and politics of decolonial remembrance will be made possible and thus fundamental questions for considerations on the establishment of a future site of learning and remembrance of colonialism can be addressed.
