Conflicting Heritage. Conversation about colonial traces in urban spaces

For years, activist groups have been calling for a critical examination of street names and places in which colonial ideologies are inscribed and criticizing gaps in the culture of remembrance. As part of the City Research project, pupils from both cities visited such places in Berlin and Dar es Salaam, made colonial traces visible in public spaces and documented them in the form of short films.

The project Tanzania Park Jenfeld from Hamburg also deals with colonial traces, critically questioning the history of the park and the ‘Askari Reliefs’ placed in a communial process with the residents of the district. The discussion will reflect on how colonized places can be negotiated and made productive using artistic and participatory means.
