Workshop “How to decolonize memory?”

At the end of November in Berlin, ARCA completed another project with the assistance of our trainee, Family Ethnography, and the EVZ Foundation's support.

We established a safe environment to facilitate communication between German and Ukrainian Roma youths while considering "How to decolonize the memory?" A wide range of workshops, training sessions, guided tours of Jewish museums and memorials for Romani and Jewish Holocaust victims were part of the project.

During the workshops, we discussed how to address the traumas gained during World War II and the ongoing war in Ukraine. We studied colonization, colonial history, and a host of other topics about the current state of affairs in Ukraine with the assistance of our trainer.

As a result of the workshop, participants shared their reflections in digital format, using different media such as photos, videos, text, and letters to themselves in the future.

The results of the project are available here. 

Thanks to our trainer and our participants for such a fantastic outcome.
