„Dekoloniale – what remains?!“: Guided tour through the exhibitions in the Nikolaikirche

The biographies of colonial actors whose honorary and tombstones can be found in the Nikolaikirche are contrasted with the contemporary perspectives of resistance against the slave trade and colonialism. The exhibition also features the perspectives of the artists Tonderai Koschke, Charlotte Ming, Percy Nii Nortey, Yangkun Shi, and Theresa Weber, whose works are on display as part of the Dekoloniale Residency at the Museum Nikolaikirche. Their works expose the interconnections between colonialism, religion, politics, and historiography.

Furthermore, the biographies of colonial actors whose honorary and tombstones can be found in the Nikolaikirche are contrasted with perspectives of resistance against the slave trade and colonialism.
