UPCOMING EVENTS

07.05.2025

Dokumentarfilm „We were here. The Untold History of Black Africans in Renaissance Europe“ (2024)

Screening (OMU) und Diskussion mit dem Regisseur Fred Kuwornu

Mi., 7.5.2025

18:00 Uhr

HU Hauptgebäude, Raum 1.101

www.wewereherethefilm.com

Der Dokumentarfilm "We were here" folgt den Spuren schwarzer Menschen in der Kunst und Kultur der Renaissance und legt dabei einen besondere Fokus auf ihre Beiträge und Leistungen in einer Zeit des Wandels. Er hinterfragt damit das etablierte Bild, das schwarze Menschen in der Frühen Neuzeit lediglich als versklavte, verschleppte und unterdrückte Menschen in Europa präsent waren und legt offen, dass dieses Bild selbst das Produkt (oft gezielter) Verfälschungen durch die Nachwelt ist.

Humboldt Book Club

Invite

You are cordially invited to the next meeting of the Humboldt Book Club at 6pm on 20 May 2025 in Room 0.03, Dorotheenstraße 28, the premises of the Department of English and American Studies.

Our pick: Temporary by Hilary Leichter

In case anyone is feeling apprehensive about coming along to the Book Club, I would like to once again reiterate that this “club” is an interdepartmental social activity, open to everyone working or studying at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Rest assured, whatever your level of English, it will be enough for you to be part of the group. The atmosphere is very relaxed and people can particpate as much or as little as they wish.
