Black History Month: Filmscreening

In the organizer's words:

Hamburg, colonialism and the collective memory
DE 2024/25, Beatrace Oola, Emmanuel Asare, 28 min.

How do the decisions of the past shape our present? What traces does the Berlin-Africa Conference, globally known as the Congo-Africa Conference (1884/85), leave behind in the thoughts, actions and coexistence of Hamburg's inhabitants?

Hamburg, Colonialism and Collective Memory is a thought-provoking documentary that sheds light on an often overlooked chapter of history: Hamburg's profound involvement in colonialism and the after-effects that can still be felt today.

Through interviews with Hamburg experts, activists and citizens, as well as footage from symbolic locations, the documentary shows why it is more important than ever to talk about the colonial aftermath.

The documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives of civil society and experts.

Supported by the Ministry of Culture and Media.

Followed by a discussion.
