Regular: free of charge
3h 30min
Grand opening of the Dekoloniale Festival 2024 and vernissage of the joint decentralized exhibition “Dekoloniale – what remains?!” by the cooperation partners Dekoloniale Memory Culture in the City and the Stadtmuseum Berlin, featuring festive speeches and a musical program.
The Museum Nikolaikirche is hosting the group exhibition “Colonial Ghosts – Resistant Spirits. Church, Colonialism, and Beyond” by the five guest artists of the Dekoloniale Residency 2024. The curatorial team presents the historical exhibition “Inscribed. Colonialism, Museum, and Resistance”.
The exhibitions explore Berlin’s deep involvement in the global history of slavery and colonialism over centuries, highlighting the largely unrecognized actions of resistance figures.
“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].
