Today, we go into the 2nd day of our conference on "Memory Processes in Imperial Lifeworlds" @dhiparis . We look at all kinds of different objects, and discuss what roles they play in ongoing processes of #decolonization. Naturally, the question of restitution is important.

In this video, Marie Julien Danga (Bertoua) explains the complicated history of a now infamous object in the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, the throne of the king of Bamum.

Tomorrow we kick off our conference “Memory Processes in Imperial Lifeworlds”. We explore how objects—from wristwatches and gloves to monuments—shaped and still shape #decolonization in Europe and its former colonies.

One example: Stephen Foose (Marburg) on British passports—small objects with a huge impact on unequal global mobility. 👇

Online participation is possible!

Watches, passports, flags, gloves, artworks or big monuments: Objects shape our everyday lives. They play a role in history, and it's not always the one people thought they would. Objects also make the past visible in the present, they shape our memory of historical events. This is particularly true in the long history of interaction, domination and resistance between "the West" and "the Rest" and in the way we remember it today.
In our conference from 18-20 march, we want to look at the role all these different objects played and still play in the decolonization of Europe and its former colonies.
