6 CHAPTERS in Cape Town, Windhoek, Nairobi, Dresden, Dar es Salaam, Dakar & Berlin 

When The Jackal Leaves The Sun. Decentering Restitution | Pedagogies of Repossession unfolds through six chapters of interventionist and research-based cultural and artistic practices, accompanied by international legal expertise and activist engagement. The process of developing the project and its chapters is centered around anti-colonial resistance struggles on the African continent and in Germany in order to gain a deeper understanding of the variety of transnational relationalities that exist and alliances to be formed, that can pave the way for a collective, transdisciplinary process of creating decolonial tools and resources.

When The Jackal Leaves The Sun embarks on a collective, transdisciplinary process with the aim to create decolonial tools and interventions by way of installations and interventions in public spaces, workshops and transdisciplinary artistic research formats, exhibitions, digitally mediated programs, discursive formats, performances and artist residencies.

International Women* Space and Soma Collective propose performative architectures in public spaces in Berlin and Dar es Salaam. The OplatzBox stands as a monument of resistance of Black women* refugees addressing the repercussions of the colonial enterprise with regards to migration to Europe. Rehema Chachage’s Nitakujengea Kinyumba Na Vikuta Vya Kupitia (A Home For You I Will Create With Exit Pathways) is a collective intervention in Bagamoyo, the once designated capital of German [occupied] East Africa, that interrogates colonial cartography and aims to build a home with exit pathways through traditionally female architecture.

Chapter #3 by Memory Biwa and Chapter #4 by District* School without Center create community-led and interdisciplinary forms and tools of learning and storytelling. Together with a group of artists and intellectuals, Memory Biwa imagines extracurricular resources on anti-colonial resistance and memorial processes in Namibia. District*School without Center and collaborators will be engaging with the relationships of dispossession and fiction at the intersections of colonial agriculture, genocide and landownership, and their colonial continuities.

Wali Chafu collective in Nairobi & Dakar and curators Anguezomo Mba Bikoro & Roseline Olang’ Odhiambo in Berlin excavate and elastify the gap of accountability in current restitution discourses. Chapter #6 The Blue Book Women* presents intertemporal and intersectional approaches in regards to the history and present of human trafficking, Chapter #5 A Lullaby For A Small Death initiates collective ways of re-thinking the practice of restitution through ancestral healing in storytelling and mourning rituals in relation to the return of ancestral bodies to the continent.
