10-12 December 2024 (Berlin, Germany)
RE/READING THE CITY - Renaming streets and places as decolonial practice was the title of the 2nd transnational event of the EUrban DECO project that takes place in Berlin on 10-12 Decmeber 2024. There could be no more fitting place for the EUrban DECO Event #2 than the first German decolonial memorial "Earth Nest" at the entrance of Berlin Global Village.
The event brings together partners and target groups for three days of intensive seminars, workshops and tours. Past experiences and current initiatives are analysed to explore how toponymy can give voice to alternative perspectives and promote an inclusive vision of urban history. The aim of the project is to carry out a transnational investigation that highlights the influence of colonial ideology in the urban environment, actively involving local communities and stimulating dialogue on the transformation of public spaces.
