ON MY WAY HOME

In the organizer's words:

What does "reparation" mean? How does someone go from being an "object" to a "subject"? ON MY WAY HOME is a performance, film and conversation. It uses personal stories to convey proximity to democracy and identity from a decolonial perspective. Time is treated in a non-linear way, given a second and third chance (and as many as necessary) - so that new narratives, new paradigms emerge and we resist together.

After the screening on May 3, we will deepen the discourse in the subsequent panel. The museum director who is working on reappraising the colonial past in NRW, the teacher who is the anti-racism officer at a school in Cologne ... what are their answers?

The performance will take place in the Kitchen of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum. The panel on May 3 will take place in the museum's library.
