OVERSEEING: Rediscovering Duisburg's Colonial Traces

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Culture and City History Museum Duisburg invites you to a special tour of the exhibition OVERSEEING. Naomi Dibu and Miriam Monsemvula open new perspectives on local history and show how colonial entanglements continue to have an impact today.

Multivoiced City History in the Museum

The tour takes participants on a postcolonial trail through Duisburg. Central to this are questions about the role of women in colonialism and the perspectives of Black Duisburg women. The exhibition makes visible what has long been overlooked or suppressed in public memory.

Colonial Connections in Duisburg

Duisburg's history is closely linked to trade, mobility, and international entanglements. Historical trade relations, urban references, and the still palpable effects of racism and discrimination are presented in an understandable context. This creates an impressive discovery experience that connects local history with current social issues.

Look Closely, Question, Remember Together

The tour sees itself as a multivoiced invitation to dialogue. Instead of looking at history from just one perspective, it directs attention to different experiences and cultures of remembrance. Visitors gain insights into the cultural heritage of Duisburg and receive inspiration to see familiar city images with new eyes.

Conclusion: Cultural Enrichment in the City Museum

The tour of OVERSEEING combines profound exhibition insights with a critical examination of Duisburg's city history. Those who want to understand historical contexts, learn about suppressed perspectives, and view the present from a new angle will find a special cultural enrichment here. Participation is included in the museum admission fee.
