ADEFRA e. V. &ndash; Schwarze Frauen in Deutschland (ADEFRA e. V., Black Women in Germany) is a cultural-political forum for Black women, by Black women. Their activism has been central to the existence and formation of the Black movement in Germany. In the context of movement theories this is significant, as the role of female actors within social networks is often retrospectively marginalized. In Germany, Black lesbian activists of the 1980s were not only critical to the formulation of a Black feminist perspective, but were also instigators and generators of structures for the emergence of an organized Black community. Knowledge production about Blackness in Germany has been enduringly shaped by the vision, encounters, exchanges, and critical reflections of Black female activists.

Berlin Postkolonial advocates for a critical interrogation of Berlin&rsquo;s role in colonial history. Active since 2007, the initiative demands unconditional acknowledgement by the Federal Government of Germany of its responsibility in the colonial injustices of the German Reich between 1884&ndash;85 and 1918&ndash;19.

Berlin Postkolonial organises themed city tours and events and has co-curated traveling exhibitions such as freedom roads!, Breaking the Silence, zur&uuml;ckgeschaut/looking back, and Marejesho. From 2020 to 2024, it was involved in the pilot project Dekoloniale Memory Culture in the City. Members are particularly committed to the return of abducted ancestral remains and to renaming streets that glorify colonialism.

The Koordinierungsstelle zur Dekolonisierung Berlins (Coordinating Branch for Decolonizing Berlin) is an unusual project, hosted at the offices of Decolonize Berlin e. V. In 2020, the Koordinierungsstelle was commissioned by Berlin&rsquo;s Abgeordnetenhaus (State Parliament) to reappraise Berlin&rsquo;s colonial past in tandem with civil society stakeholders, political bodies, and administrators. Through a participatory process, a comprehensive catalogue of interventions was drafted in realms ranging from education, the sciences, urban space, memory culture, to international collaborations. After a resolution was passed by the Berlin Senate in 2023 to adopt a citywide Aufarbeitungskonzept (reappraisal concept) towards Berlin&rsquo;s colonial past, Decolonize Berlin has overseen the implementation. For decades, the association&rsquo;s member organizations have advocated for the recognition of colonial injustices and for society-wide decolonization.

The Coalition for Pluralistic Public Discourse (CPPD) is a collaborative network and productive platform of around ninety artists, academics, journalists, and activists working on and researching pluralistic cultures of remembrance through a broad range of approaches. The network&rsquo;s goal is to create artistic, civicl society, and education-politicalal policy concepts for pluralistic remembrance. At the heart of this work is the conviction that those who seek to shape the present and future in a way that recognises the pluralism of societies must also provide a new telling of the past. It brings together, among others, the remembrance policy concerns of Sinti*, Roma* and many other communities, plural-Jewish, postcolonial and antiracist discourses, as well as migrant-diaspora and queer-feminist perspectives.

The FORUM STADTPARK is a space for the production and presentation of contemporary art in all its forms, organized by an independent association in Graz.

It understands itself as a hospitable open house, an artistic and political laboratory, a space for arguments, a fortress of powerlessness, or a protective space&mdash;all depending on what&rsquo;s needed at that moment. What unifies its projects is the effort to treat burning issues of our time with political belligerence and social and political creativity.

Our work focuses on North-South relations, which we believe continue to be shaped by colonial histories as well as asymmetric, racialised relations of power that arise from them. Our work therefore takes a decolonial perspective towards global, domestic, and interpersonal relationships that is critical of existing power structures.

glokal realizes a variety of projects, designs publications, conceives educational material, and is embedded in development policy and decolonial networks.

Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) is dedicated to the search for strategies for better coexistence in and with this world. How can cultures of conviviality and community be cultivated and carried forward? With a focus on diverse voices and encounters, HKW brings together different understandings of the world in artistic, discursive, and activist forms.

Visitors are invited to experience various forms of collaboration in the extraordinary architecture of the Congress Hall, which was built in 1957 &ndash; whether in exhibitions, sound/music, performances, discursive events, literature and oraliture, architecture, academic and cultural discourse formats or in other types of gatherings.

The programme focuses on migrant knowledge and the diverse stories and life realities that can be articulated today from Germany through international exchange. Berlin alone is home to citizens from 170 nations. These people and their communities are of fundamental importance for the direction taken by HKW &ndash; not only as subjects or audiences, but also as co-makers of the programme. It is both a key goal and a mission to make cultures tangible and not to present or merely exhibit them as &ldquo;others.&rdquo;

HKW thus expands the concept of the &ldquo;world&rdquo; in its name towards an understanding of the world that embraces, explores, and equally respects a multiplicity of cultures, orders of knowledge and ways of being &ndash; whether of living or non-living beings.

At rallies, vigils, and funerals after the racist murders in Hanau on 19 February 2020, we made a promise: The names of the victims will not be forgotten. We will not leave things alone. We will not remain shocked and dismayed with no consequences. . . . We will not allow 19 February 2020 to be swept under the rug, as countless rightwing murders have been before.

&ndash; From the founding text of the Initiative 19. Februar Hanau, 6 March 2020

Relatives of the victims, survivors of the attack, friends, and supporters have made the space of the Initiative 19. Februar Hanau into a site of trust, remembrance, justice, education, and consequences.

For the year 2025, the Saxon industrial city of Chemnitz is the European Capital of Culture. Meanwhile, the Capital of Culture Region extends to 38 partner municipalities in Central Saxony, the Ore Mountains, and the Zwickau region. All of these areas are collaborating to make unseen people, locations, and activities more visible under the motto &lsquo;C the Unseen&rsquo;.&nbsp;

As a member of the heimaten network, European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 is hosting the haamit heimaten festival, and in the process bringing a Saxon perspective to the decentrally organized network. In this choice of title, the term &lsquo;haamit&rsquo;&mdash;the word for Heimat in the local dialect&mdash;joins with the verb form of heimaten to describe the search, discovery, and making of homes. This poses some central questions: What does Heimat mean today, and for whom? How can more diverse narratives of the former East emerge, in contrast to the image of a supposedly &lsquo;white&rsquo; East Germany?

The Kunstwerkst&auml;tten see themselves as a living training ground&mdash;a laboratory full of inspiration that offers room for growth.

For the past ten years, the Rechenzentrum (RZ) has been a site for art, culture, and participation in the heart of Potsdam&rsquo;s inner city. Today, over 300 people use the former data processing centre for creative work, sociocultural encounters, and civic engagement. The projects, studios, and initiatives housed here contribute significantly to the city&rsquo;s diversity, liveliness, and openness.

The RZ&rsquo;s architectural surroundings are also impressive: the East German building with its landmark-protected mosaics stands directly beside the recently renovated baroque tower of Potsdam&rsquo;s former Garrison Church. Here, German history is visible in all its complexity&mdash;in its contrast, dialogue, and tension.

As things stand, the permits to use the RZ will expire at the end of January 2026. An intense struggle is taking place to secure the building&rsquo;s long-term preservation.

The Theaterhaus Jena, founded in 1993, is known for its unusual receptivity to experimentation and its young ensemble. Over the years it has been hailed as an aesthetic laboratory, a springboard for young artists, and a pioneering theatrical model at the boundary between the independent scene and municipally funded theatre. The focus is contemporary art: world premieres are as central to the repertoire as modern adaptations of classics and performance theatre. Theatrical work with young people plays a major part in the repertoire, as does the introduction of children to theatre. Since the 2024&ndash;25 season, the artistic direction has increasingly emphasized democratization of theatrical structures and the expansion of national and international collaborations.

The Theodor Wonja Michael Bibliothek is Cologne&rsquo;s first Black library, and the first library of its kind in all of North Rhine-Westphalia. It understands itself as a space for empowerment, education, and encounters. Focusing on Black perspectives and decolonial knowledge, it conveys an unprejudiced image of Africa and, in doing so, amplifies diversity and cultural self-knowledge. Functioning as a meeting point and safe space for Black individuals&mdash;especially those in Black communities who face multiple kinds of discrimination&mdash;but also as an educational facility for anyone interested, the library creates space for society-spanning dialogue between marginalized voices and those of the majority culture. This dialogue is furthered on an ongoing basis through literature, cultural work, and joint events.

The&nbsp;heimaten&nbsp;Network brings together actors from the plural society&mdash;from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

heimaten means activism, anti-fascism, decolonization, belonging.

heimaten means the defence of spaces, it means creating a new home and insisting that this home has always been shaped by many.&nbsp;

heimaten means that society draws its strength from this plurality, in every federal state, every canton, and every city. That the art, the commitment, the vitality of a society arises from this polyphony. That this necessarily includes criticism and controversy.

From September to December 2025, the heimaten Festival for Plural Democracy brings together numerous protagonists and initiatives who have committed themselves to this attitude and collectively claim space and visibility in the face of current political developments.

The stories and history of the Viet-German community have not been sufficiently told, which is something the Coalition for Pluralistic Public Discourse (CPPD) hopes to change with its Dynamic Memory Lab &lsquo;nước Đức&rsquo;. Designed by individuals who fled Vietnam or immigrated from Vietnam to Germany, as well as their children and grandchildren, the Dynamic Memory Lab examines the continuities of Vietnamese migration history while bridging perspectives and narratives within the Viet-German communities of West and East Germany and bringing them into conversation. In this way, the Dynamic Memory Lab merges the communication of historical developments with the sharing of individual stories and history.

Dynamic Memory Lab &lsquo;nước Đức&rsquo; will open on 20 September 2025 as part of heimaten Festival for Plural Democracy and be accompanied by workshops, panel discussions, and artistic interventions.

Design of the Dynamic Memory Lab: Jan Bodenstein, architect

Curation: Dan Thy Nguyen and Nina Reiprich
