Postcolonial Theory and Practice

The cultural and social anthropologist works to put postcolonial theory into practice. She not only reflects on cultural, political, and economic interconnections in the past and present. Prof. Dr. Julia Binter also aims to reshape these interconnections in cooperative film and exhibition projects. In the Global Heritage Lab, she is exploring the paths and consequences of colonial influences and entanglements in two parallel exhibitions (running until October 12, 2025).

Global Heritage Lab

The Global Heritage Lab at the University of Bonn sees itself as a central point of contact for cultural-historical and museum-related research and as a transdisciplinary laboratory. It offers space for experimentation, transcultural dialogue, and the reinterpretation of the interface between past, present, and future. The Global Heritage Lab focuses on transregional and transcontinental perspectives and integrates indigenous knowledge and diverse viewpoints. The team operates across continents and promotes a diverse community of researchers and practitioners in Africa, America, particularly Latin America, Europe, and potentially also in Asia and the Pacific region.
