Ceremonial opening of the Dekoloniale Festival 2022: Keynote

On Thursday, September 1, 2022, we will open this year's Dekoloniale festival in the south of Berlin and take a closer look at the districts of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Tempelhof-Schöneberg. We start at Mariannenplatz and Studio 1 in the Bethanien art district and approach the emancipatory and resistant potential of [de]colonial migrations with workshops, panel discussions, theater and performance.

Opening impulse keynotes will be held by Mekonnen Mesghena, Advisor for Migration & Diversity« of the Heinrich Böll Foundation and Maaza Mengiste, author, on the past and present of migration. A conversation follows.
