“We underestimate the whole role in history and the own history Africa had before colonialism. All this is part of this show, and this is what we aim to show, how big the influence was from African people because they were forced to leave Africa. They also spread the culture and a lot of music and dance, which we have today, is rooted in Afro global origins. So all this is kind of discussion point in this show.”

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Ralf Beil, General Director of the World Cultural Heritage Site Völklingen Ironworks and curator of the exhibition:
“The question of Africa is a global question. If we don’t resolve the questions which are climate and migration and democracy in the real life model of Africa, then we won’t resolve it on a planetary basis. So we really should rather have also a look sometimes to something different because we have been talking about months now about American elections and now it is gone. And now we see, we have this situation we have with Mr. (Donald) Trump. So, we…I think we should really look to other spots sometimes also.”

23. SOUNDBITE (French) Pisko Crâne, Kongo Astronauts:
"So for me the point is this – to convey this message: in the east of my country people are killed for coltan to make electronic devices and afterwards the waste gets taken back to Congo. The world needs to be sincere about knowing that. And as an artist in my way, I tried to convey that message via the astronauts. For me, it’s kind of like that."
