Traces of Switzerland's colonial past can be found everywhere. Often, however, they remain hidden or are seen out of their historical context. How can we showcase these colonial traces without reproducing them? How can we make it clear that historical events are inscribed in our bodies without resorting to colonial imagery and aesthetics? In conversation with RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co) and Ashkira Darman, and inspired by the exhibition at the Landesmuseum, we would like to discuss possibilities of giving visibility. We are also interested in how looking at (post-)colonial Switzerland can sharpen our view of constructions of gender and gender relations: How can these connections and other intersections be told? Finally, and in view of a vision for co-designing and redesigning future (educational) institutional spaces, it is also about how our questions and debates can lead to the creation of spaces that include experiences of marginalization, of immigration and migration experiences as part of Swiss stories.
