The decentralized exhibition project “Dekoloniale – what remains?!” offers a guided tour that delves deep into the history of the Nikolaikirche and its largely unexamined connections to the Prussian-Brandenburgian slave trade and 19th-century colonialism.
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.
“Dekoloniale – what remains?!” is a joint project by Berlin Postkolonial e.V., Each One Teach One (EOTO) e.V. and the Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland (ISD-Bund e.V.), the learning and remembrance space “Kolonialismus Erinnern” [Remembering Colonialism], and the Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin in the context of the model project Dekoloniale Memory Culture in the City. The project is funded by the Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt [Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion] and the Kulturstiftung des Bundes [German Federal Cultural Foundation].
