According to a report by www.berlin.de "Buried Memories. Remembering dealing with the genocide to the Ovaherero and Nama".

The exhibition is intended to moderate the dialogue with the urban society and develop the concept for a contemporary handling of the memorial in the cemetery on the Columbiadamm.

As a citizen of Berlin, I am proud that the Museum Neukölln has initiated such an important exhibition that invites you to a dialogue about Germany's colonial heritage. The examination of the colonial past is of great importance, and this exhibition offers a unique opportunity for active participation and participation. The fact that the exhibition will run for nine months and will take place in a specially built yurt at the museum shows the serious commitment of the Neukölln district for this important dialogue.

In addition, the partnership with Namibian artists and activists is also an important step to make the perspectives of both sides visible and to find joint answers. The exhibition poses important questions about the colonial heritage of Germany and offers space for different formats and discussions.

It can be seen that the Museum Neukölln opens external expertise for the accompanying event format and creates a participatory platform to involve the community in this dialogue. This shows that the exhibition is not only a place of remembering, but also a place of open exchange and commitment to a future -oriented culture of remembrance. The exhibition is open to visitors until July 21, 2024 and admission is free, which underlines the accessibility and relevance for the entire urban society.
