The Goethe-Institut is hosting an open talk and community meeting with writer and interdisciplinary artist Grada Kilomba. Kilomba is a Portuguese writer and interdisciplinary artist, with origins in São Tomé e Príncipe and Angola. Her work draws on memory, trauma, race, and gender, and has been translated into several languages and staged internationally.
Following Grada Kilomba’s lecture performance “Decolonizing Knowledge” at WiCDS Decolonizing Feminism Conference, Kilomba wants to take time to reflect and share some perspectives on her work dealing with gender, race, trauma, memory and post-colonialism. The audience will be invited to engage in an informal and intersectional discussion on the different forms of oppressions that impact our lives. The artist asks for awareness during the conversation, of how white and/or male privilege can derail necessary conversations and erase the experiences of those facing multiple forms of oppression.
