Postcolonial Europe: The significance of memory
September 16, 2020
Arts.21 presents four creative positions:
Afropean: In search of identity
What do Black people in Europe have in common? The British author and photographer Johny Pitts embarks on a journey from Sheffield to Paris, Brussels, and Berlin. He is searching for common ground and encounters contradictions.
Painting over stereotypes
Ethnographic images from the colonial era have burned themselves into the memory of the Western world. Artist Rajkamal Kahlon uses a paint brush to challenge historical photographs, to restore the dignity of the people they’re portraying.
A cultural heritage for everyone
How does one deal with a colonial legacy? Nora Al-Badri is using data mining and artificial intelligence to make it accessible to everyone—even if it’s only done digitally.
Afro-German sound art
Born in Cameroon and raised in Germany – a life between two worlds. Elsa M’Bala describes this in her music. She mixes the sounds from her African home with electronic music and spoken word. Sound art that brings both worlds together.
