Recht ist ein Sticker auf blauem Untergrund zu sehen. Der Sticker ist rechteckig und rot. Das Rechteck ist in drei Teile unterteilt, so dass drei Boxen untereinander entstehen. In jeder Box steht in weißer Schrift "Wo kommt eigentlich der Ru[h]m her?". In der linken Bildhälft ist im Hintergrund des aufgeklebten Stickers der Flensburger Hafen im Sommer zu sehen. Zwei Menschen laufen Hand in Hand am Hafen entlang.

Dates for Postcolonial City Walks in spring and summer 2025

Dates for postcolonial city walks in spring and summer 2025

April marks the start of the Postcolonial City Walks season. The Flensburg Postcolonial City Walk initiative invites participants to take a critical look at how the colonial era has shaped the city of Flensburg and us as its inhabitants. How do Flensburg’s trade and maritime connections relate to the exploitation and oppression on the formerly Danish colonised Caribbean islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John? Colonialism is not understood as a historically closed era, but as a system of power and exploitation that is still effective today.

The tour has four stops along the traces of colonial history that are still present today. We look at changes in consumption through so-called colonial goods and racism in advertising, as well as its effects and persistence in the present and in ourselves. Other aspects include ways of dealing with memory, such as monuments and what sugar and bricks have to do with it, and much more.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We always meet in front of the Flensburg Maritime Museum (Schiffbrücke 39, 24939 Flensburg). The tour lasts approximately two hours. We walk about 1.5 km and there are opportunities to sit down at two of the four stops. Participation is free, but donations for decolonial projects are welcome.+
