Konferenz | Transcultural relations and colonial legacies

Restitution beyond objects, cultural memory and digital mediation

Die internationale Konferenz widmet sich transkulturellen Beziehungen und kolonialen Vermächtnissen aus europäischen und afrikanischen Perspektiven. 

In drei thematischen Schwerpunkten werden Fragen zu afrikanischem Kulturerbe und immateriellen Dimensionen der Restitution, community‑zentrierten und pluriversalen Erinnerungskulturen sowie dekolonialen digitalen Praktiken behandelt. Die Konferenz ist Teil des zweijährigen Projekts „Reframing Colonial Legacies“ (Zeppelin Universität und University of Cape Coast, gefördert durch den DAAD). 

Sie findet am 5. und 7. Mai 2026 in hybrider Form an der Zeppelin Universität in Friedrichshafen statt und richtet sich an ein internationales Publikum aus Wissenschaft und Kulturpraxis.
