More than 10 years have passed since the death of the Palestinian literary theorist Edward Said, one of the founders of postcolonial studies, and there is still a long way to go before Europe is able to look at the non-Western world without donning its colonial glasses. Looking at art currently produced on the African continent, how can one avoid falling into the trap of exoticism? Despite a growing profusion of exhibitions of African art at European shows and galleries, this question remains unanswered. For this debate, HAU Hebbel am Ufer has invited the curator N’Goné Fall, the journalist Ntone Edjabe and the choreographer Faustin Linyekula to talk about their artistic practice and experiences when working with European partners. The moderator is Anne Haeming.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
