Invitation to participate

We cordially invite to the Exhibition Opening of freedom roads! - colonial street names / postcolonial cultures of remembrance in Berlin.

Vestiges of the colonial past are deeply engraved in the European urban landscapes. Even today, street names commemorate conquered countries and honour colonial protagonists.

For postcolonial cultures of remembrance focusing on German and European colonial history, the years 2010 - 2012 are of special interest:

- 125 years ago, in 1884-1885, the infamous Berlin Africa Conference took place, a key event which resulted in the imperial 'Scramble for Africa' and in the arbitrary annexation of the African continent by the Great Powers as well as in Germany's entry into colonial politics

- 50 years ago, in the 'African Year' 1960, 17 African countries, among them the former German colonies Cameroon and Togo, declared their independence. They will be celebrating anniversary events in 2010. In 2011 commemoration jubilees will take place in Tanzania (former 'German East Africa'). Namibia, once the colony 'German Southwest Africa' gained its independence twenty years ago.

Recently a growing number of NGOs has been critically researching the origins of the colonial street names in their cities in Germany. At the 125th anniversary of the Berlin Africa Conference in 2009/2010, a nationwide network of more than 70 NGOs, churches, educational institutions, trade unions and parties called for the "removal of street names honouring colonial protagonists or including racist connotations" and suggested to give them "names of leading African figures who have fought in anticolonial resistance movements".

In February this year, the network succeeded in renaming Grbenufer, honouring Otto Friedrich von der Groeben, the founder of the slave fort "Gro-Friedrichsburg" at the coast of Ghana (Princess Town). The street name now remembers May Ayim, the African-German researcher, poet and activist.

Inspired by this, the Social Democratic Party, governing in the district Berlin-Mitte, has meanwhile passed a resolution for "an extensive commemoration concept" in the so-called 'Afrikanisches Viertel' ('African Quarter') in Berlin-Wedding. The three street names there - Petersallee, Lderitzstrae and Nachtigalplatz - still honouring founders and stakeholders of the German colonisation, shall be renamed after African personalities, especially women, who have been active in anti-colonial resistance movements.

For the exhibition freedom roads! we are working together with African, African-German and German historians, artists and activists. Everybody interested - neighbours, school classes, communities, people from around the world - is invited to debate, participate and send ideas for possible new name givers. Please find the site of our coming debate forum here: www.freedom-roads.de/efrrd/edebat.htm (from August 27 on online).

Please find here more information about the participative transfer exhibition project freedom roads!: www.freedom-roads.de/frrd/ewelcome.htm

For information in German language: www.freedom-roads.de ((biographies of the colonial protagonists and personalities in anticolonial resistance, overview of the colonial street names in German cities as well as of NGOs which have been engaged for street renamings, et al.).

The first freedom roads! exhibition opens its doors from 8/28 - 10/3/2010 in Berlin. The exhibition will be transferred into other German cities during 2011 - 2012. On its way the exhibition will constantly grow with local street name issues and participations. In 2012, the 'grown' freedom roads! exhibition will return to Berlin and present an overall view of all the topics, urban spaces and positions. An international meeting will follow.

We would be happy to welcome you in the exhibition opening as well as to read your postings in the debate forum.

With best wishes
