This multimedia exhibition explores the artistic influence of Germany’s Weimar Republic on the African diaspora and vice versa. The exhibition takes inspiration from René Maran, the first Black recipient of the Prix Goncourt in 1921, whose subtle critique of Africa diaspora liberal governance proved an influential catalyst for many Afro-diasporic people living in Germany at the time.
