Jedes Mal wenn ich so Postkolonialismusdiskussionen lese, denke ich: Leude es machen seit 70 Jahren Andere die empirische und theoretische Grundlagenarbeit, alles Leute die ihr partout nicht zitiert weil Fanon alles ist was Euch einfällt

G20 summit:

In an unprecedented move, Pretoria released the 122-point declaration.

It calls for more attention on issues that affect poor countries, such as help to recover from climate-related disasters, debt relief and support for the transition to greener energy sources.

Memories of German colonialism in Namibia: Deeply moving musical „People of Song“ at Humboldt Forum as part of 25-year twinning Windhoek-Berlin.

When will Berlin create space of memory for genocide & all colonial crimes, @regberlin.bsky.social?

@decolonizeberlin.bsky.social @he-mel.bsky.social
Announcement of Humboldt Forum: „Aniros wants to share her music with the whole world, but the distrust her father and grandmother feel toward strangers blocks her path. When a mysterious visitor arrives in her village, long-hidden truths are revealed, shaking both family and community. The encounter forces her to confront the past and discover new paths for the future. In a gripping tale, past, loss, and forgiveness collide. People of Song is a collaborative project by a Namibian-German artist collective that fuses music, theatre, and choral singing into a captivating total work of art. Developed through research with Namibian cultures and the Phonogram Archive of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin, this music theatre piece tells the story of an intense transnational collaboration that transcends borders and unleashes creative energy. At its heart lies a shared vision: to use art as a powerful tool to illuminate socially relevant themes such as memory, identity, and transformation. People of Song is far more than a music theatre project – it is a polyphonic cultural dialogue that touches, moves, and inspires reflection: multifaceted, emotional, and highly topical.“ Photo of Namibian cast in conversation with the audience after performance. Scene of applause at end of performance

Habe meine ersten Artikel als Journalist 1971/72 für die "Bayrische Staatszeitung" in München geschrieben (nein, keine CSU-Zeitung!), über Tierkörperbeseitigung, Burgen und Schlösser in Franken und Ähnliches mehr. War eine gute Lehre.
