Dino in the Room 3: Overcoming the knowledge gaps

Closing the Gap(s). Overcoming the knowledge gaps
The joint production of knowledge on the intertwined history of Tanzania and Germany is still in its infancy. The Humboldt Forum Foundation, Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and the National Museum of Tanzania are currently taking steps in this direction by cooperating to prepare an exhibition on the former German colony. This exhibition is scheduled to open in Berlin in fall 2024 and travel to Tanzania a year later. In this and other projects, the aim is to systematically record and research Tanzanian cultural heritage in Germany. Recently, a similar project was launched in a collaboration between Germany and Cameroon.

With the dialogue forum "Dino in the Room" on May 14 and 15, 2024, the Heinrich Böll Foundation offers a space for civil society voices from Tanzania and Germany in the context of such remembrance work. We hope for broad-based, new ethic of relations to emerge through the mutual perception of other experiences, through the recognition of guilt and trauma on the part of the German perpetrator society.
