I have been asking myself: is it ever possible to decolonize from within the institutions of the empire? In inscribing subalternity within the language of inherently Eurocentric academia and institutional art, am I not then just complicit to colonialism? I reflect on these questions in the sound performance/composed theatre project Echoing Europe – Postcolonial Reverberations — returning onstage at Ballhaus Naunynstrasse on 16-19 December. See you at the theatre bar for a drink after the show?
