Not done yet. Colonial Continuities

Anticolonial walk through Siegen with Lea Weckert and Jessica Schiefer

What are the traces of colonialism that can be found in our immediate surroundings – in street names, monuments, buildings or everyday routines? The anti-colonial walk through Siegen invites you to discover the city's history from an anti-colonial perspective and to reveal its colonial interconnections between the past and the present.

Over a period of about 1.5 to 2 hours, students from the University of Siegen will guide you to various locations in the city where colonial history, memory culture and today's social power relations intersect. They present their own research, perspectives and artistic approaches that show how deeply colonial continuities are still inscribed in our everyday lives today – in language, consumption, architecture and power structures that we often accept without question.

The walk will be accompanied by Lea Weckert (Lecturer, University of Siegen) and Jessica Schiefer (Museum of Contemporary Art Siegen).
Together with the participants we create an open space for exchange, critical reflection and new forms of remembrance.

Meeting point: Unterer Schlossplatz, Siegen
Free admission.
