EXHIBITION – the roots of our hands deep as revolt:

Entangled Colonialities of the Green

Salamaléikoum dearest Binghis we have missed you!

Nyabinghi Lab has proudly announced the launch of our new project “The Roots Of Our Hands Deep As Revolt: Entangled Colonialities of the Green”, an 18 month long research and exhibition project supported by the @kulturstiftungdesbundes, in cooperation with @kenulab, @chimurenga_sa, @hauberlin and @kunstraumkreuzberg!

Environmentalism, sustainability, and other green practices have historically relegated non-white and non-Western voices and realities to the margins.

By addressing the colonial entanglements of the Green/environmental movement in Germany in particular, the project explores the history of these exclusions, challenges the narrative of the human/nature binary and connects environmental discourses to antislavery and anticolonial struggles.

The invited artists and participants imagine and create Black and decolonial ecologies as sites of possibility for alternative notions of nature, for future visions of sustainability, reciprocity, Blackness, (non)humanness, and ecological stewardship.
