Following marronage narratives, knowledge performed in BE.BOP interrogates hierarchical academic structures and disciplinary boundaries while engaging in deep discussions on Black citizenship in Europe, colonial amnesia, the legacies of the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, revolutionary spirituality and healing, among other Afrocentric subjects. At this point no serious discussion of Germany’s colonial past or the persistence of colonial power structures and knowledge hierarchies had taken place. The treatment of refugees on the protest camps at Oranienplatz is a sad indication of how (hegemonic) Germany still constructs its identity as white, of how past and present Black presence, achievements and participation is erased, and how Black Germans are denied citizenship rights.
