Buna Hour / Gerechtigkeiten is the third event on artistic and discursive strategies of decolonizing everyday life within the context of the festival Postcolonial Poly Perspectives.

Justice! What justice do we demand? What decolonial approaches do we pursue? Which ones are we working on? In this issue, Buna Hour / Gerechtigkeiten is dedicated to a cross-section of justice approaches that consider different areas of society from Black and People of Color perspectives.

On the one hand, there is a continuity of violence and exploitation; on the other, these structures vary in different areas of life, are reflected in legal recognition/non-recognition, in material prosperity, in the penal system, in medical care, in climatic conditions, etc. The demands for recognition, equal division and justice multiply, overlapping, strengthening or endangering each other.

What are the ideas, demands and projects for justice that guide us? What strategies are already being pursued? Which new strategies do we need? What can we learn from historical or translocal movements? What are sources of justice? What can we expect and demand from state bodies and what does community work mean in this context?

Based on the Ethiopian practice of buna, where households and communities come together for one to two hours to drink coffee and discuss everyday matters, Buna Hour / Gerechtigkeiten invites its guests to engage in a polyphonic exchange of perspectives: the co-founder of the Center for Intersectionality, Dr. Emilia Roig, the political scientist Joshua Kwesi Aikins, the lawyer Anna Hankings-Evans, the historian Edna Bonhomme and host Eric Otieno come together to analyze current justice strategies and to refine them for political action.

Moderation: Eric Otieno

Featuring: Edna Bonhomme, Anna Hankings-Evans, Joshua Kwesi Aikins & Emilia Roig
