Dekoloniale Academy I

Parallel to the main festival program, a series of practice-oriented, mostly target group-specific workshops take place in cooperation with our partner organizations and guest lecturers. The Dekoloniale Academy serves as an interactive educational platform in which, depending on the workshop, exhibition organizers, media and/or cultural workers, those interested in architecture, activists and everyone interested in decolonization come together to critically examine power continuities of colonial structures, the effectiveness of anti-colonial solidarity, intervening artistic practices or to discuss places of remembrance.

Locations: Berlin Open Lab (BOL)/Design Transfer (foyer), University of the Arts (UdK), Einsteinufer 43, 10587 Berlin

Language, resistance and artistic intervention

Which language for the resistance against colonialism and coloniality of our time? What meaning and interpretation can language have for the decolonization of time and the moment? In this workshop we want to talk to the artist Nando Nkrumah and the sociologist Danielle Rosales about the effects and possibilities of artistic interventions and visual language considerations in the context of museum practices.

For the past two years, museums in Germany have been thinking more and more about their colonial past. But what does that mean for language in image and text?
