During this multivocal KOSMOS-Lesung, 14 researchers from IRI THESys (HU Berlin) share what they observed in winter 2022/23: multiple crises across the globe and what this means for our societies and for climate protection. We contributed with a critical entry around the topics of extractivism & dependency, from a decolonial perspective.

We built an artistic performance for the Decolonial Flânerie vol III, Anton Wilhelm Amo & W.E.B. Du Bois: Tracing the silenced history of black scholars in Berlin, organised by the Nachbarschaftsinitiative Anton Wilhelm Amo-Straße (NAWAS).

In our intervention, we recalled the work of the Chilean revolutionary musician Victor Jara and his intersections with the creation of W.E.B. Du Bois in their quest for peace and justice.

On Friday, June 11th, 2021, the event took place online and explored how coloniality influences knowledge production within academia and what alternatives exist to end the reproduction dynamics of injustice within our own research practices. Two key experts; Dr. Noa K. Ha and Dr Antony Pattathu, highlighted examples from their work to open the dialogue on current challenges and future opportunities.
