7th celebration of the unnaming of M.Strasse

13:00-19:00
Demo am Lustgarten vor dem Humboldt Forum-Festprogramm auf dem Hausvogteiplatz

While it took 260 years after Anton Wilhelm Amo’s death and 15 years of fight led by #decolonizeberlin to rename the m-strasse to his name, Werner Otto has his name inscribed at the top of this baroque ruin in the middle of the city for a million euro donation to a cross that demands our kneeling. We refuse this. We refuse the colonial violence that the Humboldt Forum perpetuates.
