Workshop and city tour: Traces of postcolonial past in present-day Munich
Why should we care about colonialism today? What do (post-)colonial structures have to do with our everyday life? What does decolonisation mean today?
Our present socio-economical behavior, our decisions of consumption and our perceptions of reality are – consciously or not – tied to the many stories of ’New World’ encounters dating back to the era of colonialism. Imaginations of economic wealth, knowledge-production, and material culture blend colonial past into postcolonial present. Colonialism and its effects are also inscribed into the cityscape of Munich – how do we deal with the traces of colonial past in our city?
In a workshop, we want to expand our view of the global entanglements of colonialism and afterwards look for local traces in Munich on a city tour.
Sunday, November 13th, start at 1 pm
