GOSPEL OF WEALTH questions the impact of the glorification of a western colonial figure and its heritage within the individual and collective consciousness, from an Afro-diasporic perspective. From Nigeria through Congo to the Caribbean. In the performance, we encounter several mythologies, embodied by sonic and danced intervention. We aim to open a new conversation acknowledging and valuing collectivity over the myth of a political figure and material wealth.
WITH Jumoke Adeyanju, Natisa Exocé Kasongo, Thomias Radin, and Maxime Rogron alias Delawhere
Erich Thurner offers a tactile tour for blind and visually impaired visitors on the topic of colonial culture of remembrance in public space on Nettelbeckplatz.
The offer is free of charge.
On Open Monument Day, we invite you to an urban performance in which the paper cast of the monument will be transformed. The site of the performance is another public square that carries a history of violence in its name: Nettelbeckplatz, which commemorates the colonial propagandist and slave trader Joachim Nettelbeck.
