BE.BOP 2013 - DECOLONIZING THE “COLD” WAR - Malcolm X, the Black Panthers and Black Internationalism today, Curated by Alanna Lockward, 19-23 May, Ballhaus Naunynstraße and Hackesche Höfe Kino, Berlin

After its outstanding debut last year, this new edition of the series “Black Europe Body Politics” is expanding with live performances and an all-day screening commemorating Malcolm X’s birthday. “Decolonizing the ‘Cold’ War” is the first Afropean performance showcase, accompanied by roundtable discussions on the aesthetic legacy of the Black Power movement in the radical imagination of Diaspora artists. Parallel to this, its influence in liberation and decolonization struggles in the Global South during the so-called ‘Cold’ War will be approached from the continuities of coloniality. According to Enrique Dussel, a liberation philosopher and decolonial thinker, this war was never ‘cold’ in the Global South.

ALL entry tickets with different prices (EUROS) to BE.BOP 2013 screenings at the Hackesche Höfe Kino and performances at Ballhaus Naunynstrasse are on sale at each venue respectively. Please check our program for details on prices and schedules. The roundtable sessions are FREE and open to the public, however everyone (except participants) MUST PRE-REGISTER online on Eventbrite. Only pre-registered public will be allowed and there are 90 places still left. Spread the news and here is the online registration link! |+| http://decolonizingthecoldwar.eventbrite.com/
