zurückGESCHAUT
The exhibition "zurückGESCHAUT" is the result of a cooperation between the Museum Treptow, Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland (ISD) and Berlin postkolonial. It deals with the colonial history of Treptow-Köpenick. In doing so, it emphasizes postcolonial continuities of economic dependencies, globally persistent structural racism and repeatedly refers to the importance of resistance. The exhibition works very biographically and gives the visitors many examples of activists and their concrete actions in the past and today. Martin Quare a Dibobes' commitment is particularly memorable. Born in Cameroon, he was later forced to take part in the first German colonial exhibition in Treptower Park in 1896. He subsequently did an apprenticeship as locksmith and worked with the Berliner Verkehrs-Betriebe, today's BVG. As early as 1919, he demanded in a petition the "independence and equal rights" of the people in and from the German colonies. A commemorative plaque near Schönhauser Allee S-Bahn station and a photograph at Hallesches Tor underground station remind us of his work. "100 Jahre Revlution" has summarized his life: https://100jahrerevolution.berlin/100-orte/dibobe/
