Inhalt
Black artists in Germany find themselves – necessarily – in a position where double consciousness, subversiveness and resistance – both implicit and explicit – become important strategies for surviving in this predominantly white environment. The Little Book of Big Visions. How to be an Artist and Revolutionize the World, the first publication in the English-language series Witnessed, answers the questions of what truly egalitarian communities and societies might look like and what role Black cultural workers play in the realization of such visions. What would Black artistic practices within such visionary communities look like? What is beyond reaction and resistance? This book aims to contribute to a discourse underrepresented in Germany by enabling a discussion of the current situation of Black cultural workers in Germany and by focusing on how contemporary Black cultural workers in Germany create and communicate visions of equal opportunities.

Leseprobe / Cover
For Black artists working in Germany, the goal … should not rest solely with being seen and heard in a country that continues to struggle with having an ethnically and racially diverse population. The exciting mission, should we choose to accept it, is to serve as global role models on how to break through oppositional social constructs like race, class, gender, culture and nationality. In doing so, we create new models for what living in a world that privileges a multiplicity of voices would look like.
Imagine Us There: Visions of Radical. Art. People. Spaces by Misa Dayson
