"ReMapping Memories Lisboa - Hamburg: (Post)Colonial Sites of Memory" is a multi-year project of the Goethe-Institut Portugal with partners in Lisbon and Hamburg. It is dedicated to the "stone turned" traces and legacies of colonialism and anti-colonial resistance in public space in the two port cities of Hamburg and Lisbon. Using the example of two centers of European imperialism, the project shows which traces and inscriptions of the colonial exist in European cities up to the 21st century and thus aims to contribute to the decolonization of public space.
