Symposium
Stages of Colonialism / Stages of discomfort
The performances “Exhibit B” and “medEia” by Brett Bailey raise questions about postcolonial strategies in politics and aesthetics – especially in Germany where the awareness of the colonial past is growing only slowly. We take this opportunity to present different perspectives on the subject.
