Public talk with Dr. Ibou Coulibaly Diop. In August 2019, the Berlin House of Representatives decided to develop a city-wide concept for dealing with and remembering the history and consequences of colonialism in the state of Berlin. The remembrance concept was developed in close cooperation with Berlin's civil society across all departments. The two actors funded by the Berlin Senate, the Coordination Office for a City-wide Concept for Dealing with Berlin's Colonial Past (Decolonize Berlin e.V.) and the five-year model project Decolonial Culture of Remembrance in the City, as well as other civil society organizations that have been campaigning for a change of perspective in the German culture of remembrance for years, played a key role in the participatory process.
