Art is created through the smell of paint, wood or other materials, through the haptics of „feeling“ surfaces and textures, through the sound of position, size and mass in space, the sound of the work of art, perhaps also by looking at it. We invite you to experience the artworks and explore materials together.

The tours Mainz – Postcolonial want to give people in Mainz a new, different access to (their) city. The goal is to show that Mainz was involved in colonialism, to make its traces visible, and to sensitize people to its continuing effects.

The term postcolonial refers to the fact that colonialism is not merely a past era of conquest.

It is a system of power, oppression and exploitation whose structures exert influence on our present lives. In the Mainzer Neustadt are numerous examples, from street and place names such as Sömmerringplatz and Adenauer-Ufer to Mainzer Zollhafen, that we want to explore critically together.

The tours are being held in German.
