The C& Center of Unfinished Business is a reading room offering visitors an extraordinary, sometimes disconcerting selection of books that are linked to the topic of colonialism in various ways – from German colonies to Congolese fashion to capital markets of 21st century.
The Center has been traveling since 2017 and connected in various ways with institutions from Berlin to Hong Kong, Cincinnati, Vienna, Toulouse, Athens, Kassel and New York.
