Berlin is now home to a memorial adressing decolonization
The Decolonial Memorial EarthNest by The Lockward Collective is a memorial site dedicated to decolonization. The open bronze nest invites visitors to engage with our colonial past and its effects to this day, as well as with decolonial resistance. It carves a space for dialog, encounter and healiing. The artpiece was selected through a global, open, and anonymous art competition by an international jury. The memorial is open to the public in front of Berlin Global Village since November 15, 2024. The art competition and the creation of the artwork were accompanied by an extensive educational program discussing decolonization.
