Conversations about Flensburg’s colonial heritage – A report

How does Flensburg live and experience its coloniality? Where do we stand? What has changed? And what could the future look like? With these questions, the Pilkentafel Theatre Workshop invited people to talk about Flensburg's colonial heritage on December 14th 2022. In this blog post we would like to briefly summarise the results of the evening.

What do Flensburg and Altona have to do with colonialism? Are there connections between the two cities? Similarities or differences? After a short introduction and a lecture, we would like to talk about this with anyone who is interested.

Im Hintergrund ist der Oberköper einer Schwarzen Person zu sehen, die in eine Muschel bläst und den rechten Arm mit einer Machte in der Hand erhoben hat.
On Monday, June 13, Prof. Sybille Bauriedl will give a lecture on colonial amnesia in Flensburg as part of the lecture series "Unsayable" at the Phänomenta in Flensburg.
