But behind their look a different story emerges \u2013 namely, the history of Germany\u2019s violent colonial past. Extracted between 1884 and 1915 at the Tsumeb mine in Namibia, the minerals are closely connected to Germany\u2019s colonial policy, the exploitation of humans and nature for Germany\u2019s industrialisation, and the genocide of the Herero and Nama.<\/p>\n<p>Media scientist Noam Gramlich (University of Potsdam) and Philemon Sheya Kaluwapa (born in Tsumeb and Honorary President of the Lukopane-Namibia Culture Society, Berlin) will be using the the minerals as a starting point to talk about the continuities of colonial violence. Not only, they argue, do the rock samples bear testimony of the colonial past; as part of scientific collections, they uphold colonial power structures to this day. In their conversation, the rocks will therefore figure as \u201cspeculative witnesses\u201d through which the complexities of the ex- and appropriation of African knowledge, racist exploitation, the ongoing devastation of the environment, and (environmental) racism can be traced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-accordion\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-2 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion inline-template>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion-item inline-template item-headline=\"Philemon Sheya Kaluwapa\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div ref=\"item\" data-id=\"PhilemonSheyaKaluwapa\" class=\"block-accordion-item vue-initialize\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"active ?
