Anujah Fernando works as a cultural scholar, filmmaker and curator. Through research-based exhibitions, texts, and documentary film projects, she deals with the politics of memory in relation to migration and colonialism. She is particularly interested in how first- and second-generation migrants negotiate languages and cultures that are in tension with dominant social discourse. Recently, she realized the installation Kantstraße 104a: Questioning the Archive for the Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (2023). At the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (FHXB) Museum, she co-curated the exhibition Despite all: Migration to the Colonial Metropolis of Berlin (2022 / 2023). At Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), she was involved in the coordination of projects critiquing racism and technology, such as for the symposium Dangerous Conjunctures. Resituating Balibar / Wallerstein‘s Race, Class, Nation (2018), the online magazine Technosphere (2018-2019), and the oral history project Archive of Refuge (2021).

Jasmin Eding has been active in the Black movement for over 30 years and is co-founder of ADEFRA e.V. (Black Women in Germany). As co-author of the book Children of the Liberation (ed. Marion Kraft, Oxford, Peter Lang Academic Publishers, 2019), she wrote about the transatlantic experiences and perspectives of Black Germans of the post-war generation and thus contributed to a milestone in the literature on Black Germans’ diverse history. ADEFRAroots is a forum by and for Black women that fights against racism and other forms of discrimination. Jasmin Eding describes herself as an anti-racist, feminist, and lesbian grassroots activist. A particular concern of hers is the balance between grassroots and academic work in the Black community in order to keep self-organized structures inclusive. Her motto: If you are free, you need to free someone. If you have power, you need to empower someone. (Toni Morrison)
