Guided Tour: Black Resistance and Global Anti-Colonialism in Berlin, 1919-1933 (Berlin Weekend)

Join us for a guided tour of the exhibition on 'Black Resistance and Global Anti-Colonialism in Berlin, 1919-1933' at Villa Oppenheim in Charlottenburg. The tour is offered in collaboration with the course 'Civic Engagement and Engaged Research: Berlin Lab' that focuses on current community issues in Berlin, including efforts to address the city’s colonial past. Berlin became a post-colonial metropolis in a largely colonial world: Migrants from former African colonies – which Germany had to renounce – remained in the city.
Berlin attracted actors from African, Asian, and Arabic regions. They formed anti-colonial alliances, demanded independence for their countries of origin, and resisted  against racism. The anti-colonial Berlin unfolded in the political forcefield of the Weimar Republic, the end of the monarchy and colonial rule, the ascent of communist internationalism and the rise of  the National Socialists. It caused frictions and was anchored in  everyday urban life, but its effect as a global movement reached far beyond the city.
