Virtual exhibition at the Forum Wissen - Unpacking Colonialism

The online exhibition "Unpacking Colonialism" in Göttingen sheds light on the controversial topic of human remains in university collections from former German and European colonies.
Guest scholars explore and call for the respectful treatment of remains that were often taken against the will of the local population. The exhibition consists of short films by cultural anthropologist Sofia Leikam, which present various approaches to research, archive work and artistic approaches to this sensitive topic. It not only opens up a view of the Human Remains, but also of European colonialism and its continuities.

When? From 25.03.2024

Ein kleines Boot fährt bei Sonnenschein auf dem schönen blauen Kiessee

Göttinger Kiessee

A headline made this body of water famous: "Giant catfish chokes on a turtle". You can stroll around the sandy banks of this former quarry pond and, with any luck, see turtles hanging about on tree trunks.
Or spend some time on the water in one of the pedal boats, rowboats or canoes while enjoying the sun.
