A lecture and discussion with Noa Ha & Nika Zablotsky<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

(in English but with possibility of questions in German)<\/p>\n

Contemporary Berlin fashions itself to be a „European metropolis“. In 1884, Berlin was host to the so called „Berlin Africa conference“. Colonialism is over? Coloniality is deeply engrained in Berlin. Informed by their experience as co-organizers of the „Decolonize the City!“ conference in Berlin in September 2012 Noa Ha and Nika Zablotsky will discuss processes of Decolonization as a sustained political practice. Departing from the position that discussions of the city have so far only insufficiently addressed who is being displaced, controlled and marginalized, they foreground an queer anti-racist analysis which emphasizes the everyday struggles and resistance of postcolonial immigrants and people of color who are most affected by racist police violence, deportation, exploitation and discrimination in the education system, which they fight back since many years. This lecture will point to prospects of Decolonization of and in Berlin.
\nHeute begreift sich Berlin als \u201aeurop\u00e4ische Metropole‘, 1884 war Berlin Gastgeber der sog. \u201eBerliner Afrika-Konferenz“. Kolonialismus war gestern? Kolonialit\u00e4t hat sich in Berlin eingeschrieben. In ihrem Vortrag werden Noa Ha und Nika Zablotsky \u00fcber ihre Analyse zur Kolonialit\u00e4t von Macht, als auch \u00fcber den Prozess der Dekolonisierung als [politischer] Praxis sprechen. Als Teil einer Gruppe von Frauen of Color organisierten sie im September 2012 die Konferenz \u201eDecolonize the City!“, da Perspektiven auf die Stadt bislang nur oberfl\u00e4chlich adressierten, wer verdr\u00e4ngt, kontrolliert und ausgegrenzt wird. Sie fragen aus einer queeren rassismuskritischen Position nach dem Alltag von postkolonialen Migrant_Innen und People of Color und thematisieren ihre K\u00e4mpfe in der Stadt, denn es sind diese, die von erh\u00f6hten und rassistischen Polizeikontrollen (racial profiling), Deportation, prekarisierter Arbeit und Diskriminierung im Bildungssystem betroffen sind, und zugleich organisieren sie seit vielen Jahren ihren Widerstand in unterschiedlichen Kontexten. Noa Ha und Nika Zablotsky werden in ihrem Vortrag verschiedene Horizonte der Dekolonisierung von\/in Berlin aufzeigen.<\/p>\n
