S4E10: The Coalition of Cultural Workers against the Humboldt Forum and BARAZANI.berlin

Decolonization in Action Podcast

lyonga and Lucas Odahara join edna bonhomme to talk about collectivizing around anticolonial activism of the Coalition of Cultural Workers against the Humboldt Forum (CCWAH) and BARAZANI.berlin and how their activism is oriented towards creating a space of resistance and community, acting in solidarity with long-term calls for repatriation. The Coalition of Cultural Workers against the Humboldt Forum (CCWAH) formed in the summer of 2020. It is an open and constantly growing alliance of cultural workers based primarily in Berlin. BARAZANI.berlin uses the possibilities of virtual space to locate itself on the empty Schlossplatz in the center of Berlin. It occupies the lost wasteland of 2012 and uses it as a place of resistance; as a place of artistic practice; as a place of listening and creative utopia, where decolonial perspectives meet and are negotiated. Over the past year, CCWAH and BARAZANI.berlin have been running together the physical space Spreeufer. A space of resistance and community on the riverbank opposite the Humboldt Forum. https://ccwah.info https://barazani.berlin
