Based on the special presentation ‘The Struggle’ on the free spaces in the city history exhibition ‘BerlinZeit’, Tauriq Jenkins spans 500 years of history and resistance in his lecture. He begins with the Battle of Salt River near present-day Cape Town, which prevented Portugal from founding a colony on 1 March 1510. The arc continues with the occupation and expropriation of the region by the Dutch East India Company in 1657 and extends to the present day with the current fight against the expansion of the US trading giant Amazon into South Africa.

Please note

The lecture will be held in English. Ticket holders can visit the exhibition and the special presentation from 4 pm. Limited places available.
