Elective module
Course
This year’s Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art focuses on decolonial processes. Colonial thinking and actions still shape many realms of our lives—not only in Europe. Decolonial processes challenge us to unlearn what we’ve learned and to constantly question our own point of view.
The artist, thinker, and activist Kader Attia is the curator of this Berlin Biennale. Over the course of his more than two decades of decolonial engagement, he has concerned himself with the concept of “repair.” With a core understanding of art as a special form of repair, this Biennale poses a series of questions: How can we conceive the decolonization of the arts: from the restitution of plundered goods to an anti-colonial culture of remembrance? What is the relationship between the colonialism and the climate crisis? What might resistance to the exploitation of resources look like and how might original knowledge contribute to the preservation of ecosystems?
Exhibition spaces include the Akademie der Künste at Hanseatenweg and Pariser Platz, Dekoloniale Memory Culture in the City, Hamburger Bahnhof—Museum für Gegenwart—Berlin, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, and Stasi Headquarters. Campus for Democracy.
