ON THE GERMAN COLONIAL GENOCIDE IN NAMIBIA

In the organizer's words:

On Saturday we invite you to watch two film investigations by and with Forensis and Forensic Architecture who have worked with Nama and Ovaherero leadership groups in Namibia to examine sites related to the 1904-1908 genocide perpetrated by the German colonial army against the Ovaherero and Nama peoples. The investigation on SHARK ISLAND examines one of the most traumatic chapters in this history: the legacy of Shark Island, the site of the deadliest concentration camp established by the Germans in the colony known at the time as "German South West Africa". Together with descendants of victims and survivors, the project reconstructed the camp in unprecedented detail and identified burial sites dating back to the period of the genocide.

Join us alongside Tobechukwu Onwukeme, Mark Mushiva and Ashkan Cheheltan of Forensis as we dive into their continuous research through film, conversation and shared research methods.
