Workshop: Recognizing, Questioning and Working on Colonial Continuities 

 

3. bis 5.9.2021 (Leipzig) und 8.9.2021 (Online) BOOKED OUT!  

 

In the workshop, we take into focus the structures of power relations and multiple discrimination that we encounter again and again in various contexts. Anti-racist and anti-colonial resistance embedded in global and local interrelationships lead us to different places. In the seminar we investigate the question of how and where concretely colonial continuities become visible. We deal with ourselves in the micro and with the global world in the macro and together we follow the traces of the colonial heritage. We identify where awareness or sensitivity for one’s own behavior is required: positioning, privileges, prejudices. What does that have to do with me? How do I position myself when dealing with forms of discrimination such as racism and sexism? It’s about questioning and reflecting. What options do I have to influence or deconstruct social power relations?
