Berlin
Berlin Postkolonial advocates for a critical interrogation of Berlin’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 1884–85 and 1918–19.
Berlin Postkolonial organises themed city tours and events and has co-curated traveling exhibitions such as freedom roads!, Breaking the Silence, zurückgeschaut/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.
