The de_colonialanguage collective and Ani Menua (X3 PostOst Agency, PostOstCafe) bring together expertise in the fields of art, activism, and research within the context of migration processes and alternative knowledge production. They conduct transcultural work with diaspora communities and develop formats that combine public space, collective, and artistic practice.
⠀
Since the 1990s, millions of people from North and Central Asia, the Caucasus, Eastern Europe, and Southeastern Europe have immigrated to Germany. Their life stories are often oversimplified by political categories, with their qualifications being devalued and their identities being reduced to a single language.
⠀
The workshop series consists of three parts: Deep Listening, Broad Perception, Critical Changes. Each workshop includes a guided group tour of the city, where personal stories are woven into the city’s design and structures.
We share stories, memories, images, hopes, and personal struggles. We create a safe space for sensitive topics and foster thoughtful discussion. The results of this collaborative effort will be presented in the form of a publication and a public guided tour of the city.
