In this episode, we delve into the themes of culture and heritage, focusing on the significance of monuments. Our guests, filmmaker Tim Hübscher and animator Zachary von Francois, discuss the Equestrian Monument, a contentious colonial monument in Namibia. Tim shares his inspiration for creating a satirical piece about the monument and its removal in 2009.
The discussion also encompasses the speaker's personal family history and the profound connections between Namibia and Germany. We examine how statues can influence perceptions of history and identity. The conversation addresses the problem of statues representing only one side of history and explores alternative ways to celebrate cultural heritage.
Additionally, we tackle the challenges of integration in Germany, the importance of contextualizing culture in public spaces, and the role of museums in preserving history. The episode concludes with reflections on the relationship between German and Namibian citizens and the importance of recognizing and embracing diversity to foster harmonious coexistence.
