freedom roads! colonial street names/ postcolonial cultures of remembrance - History, arts and participation

A plan for a new cultural concept  of remembrance for Berlin's "African Quarter" is currently being debated. We cordially invite to the exhibition freedom roads! and to a multi-faceted programme of events. Remembering 50 years of independence in many African countries, the exhibition looks at Africa's ways from colonialism and resistance to liberation. freedom roads! focuses the fact that even today German "colonial founders" are honoured with streets names in the "African Quarter" of Berlin and in numerous German metropoles. The project suggests personalities of the African history as alternative street name givers. With means of oral history the exhibition consults people of African origin who are living in Germany and invites all who want to participate creatively within the exhibition.
