Berlin Biennale curator Kader Attia on art, resistance and decolonisation
״The transformation of the environment during slavery and colonialism is also one of the blind spots of the Western environmental discourse. We have artists from the Caribbean, West Papua and Africa who address the impact of colonialism, how it changed and destroyed ecology and the environment. I’m also very excited about the Israeli artist Dana Levy who is showing a very interesting film explaining the environmental impact of destroying olive trees in Palestine that have been there for 2000 years, just to clear the landscape to prevent snipers from hiding. The question of the environment is another way to bring in activists from the Global South who want to reset the narratives that deny colonial legacies.״
