Dekoloniale Festival 2023

Sep 14, 2023 - Sep 17, 2023

About

The opening of this year's collaborative exhibition and Festival will take place in the neighborhoods of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf from September 14-17, 2023. On the evening of September 14, we will open the Dekoloniale collaborative exhibition »Stand in Solidarity! Black Resistance and Global Anti-Colonialism in Berlin, 1919-1933« together with the Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf at Villa Oppenheim (Schloßstraße 55, 14059 Berlin). The exhibition addresses the political organizing of diasporic communities as well as the experience and limits of transnational solidarity around the Communist International. The Communist International had its Western European center in the comparatively cosmopolitan capital of the Weimar Republic. Charlottenburg-Wilmersorf was the district where most activists and exiles were to be found. From September 15, the Dekoloniale Festival 2023 will present the artistic interventions of this year's Dekoloniale Berlin Residency under the title »AGITP[R]OP!« in a separate exhibition at BHROX bauhaus reuse, located on the central island of Ernst-Reuter-Platz. The 2023 festival center is also situated in and around this glass pavilion, where an international discourse program will take place on Friday, Sept. 15, 2023. On Saturday, as every year, we will organize a day-long Dekoloniale City Tour with many interesting historical and contemporary stops and corresponding interventions by our invited experts at the intersections of academia, art and activism. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we host fantastic evening programs with our partners. On Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023, we conclude the festival with roundtable discussions with our partner organizations and preview the final Dekoloniale Year 2024.
