Food & Power. Unpacking the Politics of What We Eat

A community event by the Brandenburg Museum in cooperation with Blacks and Whites Together for Human Rights e. V.

As part of the exhibition “Signals of Power. Nauen, Kamina, Windhoek” at the Brandenburg Museum – which explores the subtle and overt forms of control and power through telecommunications – we are taking a step further: to the dinner table. Because history is made there too – and power is exercised there as well.

Together with Black and White Unite for Human Rights e.V., we invite you to a community event that understands food as cultural heritage, as a colonial instrument, and as a political matter.

What to expect

• An exclusive guided tour through the exhibition “Signals of Power” with curator Dr. Katalin Krasznahorkai
• Specially prepared dishes that tell stories of migration, resistance, and remembrance (Black and White Unite for Human Rights e.V.)
• Discussions about colonialism, food justice, and cultural appropriation, moderated by Blacks and Whites Together for Human Rights e. V.
• A space for exchange, questions, and collective learning
• Ideas for a sustainable and solidarity-based approach to food
