Friday, 16 October 2020, 11-18h (Language: spoken German)
- Panel discussion with Saraya Gomis, Isidora Randjelović, Manuela Bauche and Darja Klingenberg Moderation: Diane Izabiliza and Iris Rajanayagam.
- Workshop on the website „Verwobene Geschichte*n“ („Entangled Histories“) with Diane Izabiliza and Iris Rajanayagam.
In this full-day event we would like to deal with memory cultures and the transfer of historical knowledge in the German-speaking context, from a decolonial and cross-community perspective. Intersectional approaches and perspectives in historical-political education will also be addressed in this context.
Our focus will lie on collective memory and historical interweavings between different marginalised and racialised communities. In this context, both continuities and breaks up to the present will be discussed.
The day will be opened by Iman Attia (director „Verwobene Geschichte*n“) and will begin with a panel discussion on the topic:
Shared and Divided Histories
Cross-community and transnational linkages of histor(y)ies
Central issues addressed here will be:
- How important is the knowledge of (cross-community and transnational) interrelationships of histor(y)ies for the establishment or further development of networks/structures of solidarity between different communities?
- How can (his)stories of different communities be put into relation with each other without losing sight of the specifics of each community and avoiding watering down these stories and their continuities to this day?
- How can this knowledge be made fruitful for (shared) resistance movements and which role does it play for decolonial theory and practice today?
- How can intersectional perspectives be integrated/considered in historical-political education?
This will be followed by a workshop on „Verwobene Geschichte*n“, in which the various levels and approaches will be presented and the above-mentioned questions taken up and discussed in more depth.
The „Verwobene Geschichten*n“ website uses different approaches to recall marginalised and interwoven stories that refer to the presence of Black people and People of Colour in Berlin and Germany. It deals with their everyday life and their resistance, which are and have always been struggles for agency and the right to define.

The event aims to provide a space for people working in (historical)-political education to get to know and apply global historical and intersectional approaches to teaching in their own educational practice. However, people who are not explicitly active in this field are also warmly welcome. During the workshop there will be plenty of room for exchange and existing approaches will be discussed and, if necessary, further developed.
The panel discussion and the workshop will take place online and in spoken German.
