Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, Germany

What do art and science have in common and what distinguishes them from one another? Over the course of three evenings, stipendiaries of the UdK Berlin (University of Art) discuss this question with their guests.

The artist Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa, in conversation with artist Kizito Maria Kasule, cultural theorist Christian Kravagna and historian Florence Bernault, explores why Britain has kept more pictures of prisons and prisoners from its colonial rule in Uganda than any other form of memento:TRICKY ASSIGNMENTS: REPRESENTING THE COLONIAL PRISON
