What could a holistic concept of reappraisal and remembrance of the history and consequences of colonialism look like? What does it take for it to live up to its name? Which actors need to be at the table? Which perspectives need to be taken into account? Berlin's Afrodiasporic civil societies and BIPoC organizations want to discuss these and other questions together with Berlin and international actors and organizations. Kick-off event: A remembrance concept by Berlin civil societies for Berlin
Save the Date: September 8, 2022, 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
In August 2019, the Berlin House of Representatives decided to develop a city-wide reappraisal concept and a remembrance concept on the history and consequences of colonialism in the state of Berlin. The remembrance concept to be created should take the entire city into account and be developed across departments in close cooperation with Berlin's civil society. The two actors supported by the Berlin Senate, the "Coordination Office for a City-Wide Concept for Reappraising Berlin's Colonial Past" (Decolonize Berlin eV) and the five-year model project "Dekoloniale Memory Culture in the City" (Berlin Postkolonial eV, Each One Teach One EOTO eV, Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland eV, Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin), as well as other remembrance culture and civil society organizations relevant to a remembrance concept, are significantly involved in the participation process.
Adefra, Afrikarat eV, Decolonize Berlin eV, DEKOLONIALE Memory Culture in the City, the State Association of African Associations (LAV) and Korientation eV invite you to the kick-off event.
