Berlin wants to come to terms with its history as the site of the infamous Congo Conference in a conference. The opening with Claudia Roth is almost blown up by pro-Palestinian protests. Confidence, wisdom and warmth prevent this.
When a conference is dedicated to colonialism, pro-Palestinian protests are not excluded. If Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth and Berlin’s Senator for Culture Joe Chialo come, like on Thursday to the Berlin House of World Cultures, they are practically guaranteed.
