Press/Media: Public Engagement Activities

Description

The rethinking of colonial history, including the long-suppressed German one, is increasingly present in documentaries and their critique. This is reflected in the latest edition of DOK Leipzig. How do we deal with colonial images and colonial language, and who may or should take possession of these images? How do we find a sensitive way of dealing with the legacies of colonialism without resorting to racist stereotypes?
