Firstly, I ask how violence was addressed or concealed during colonialism, secondly, what role it played in the transition between colonial rule and decolonization, and thirdly, I want to find out how the topic of colonial political violence can be researched and narrated today. My focus is on the violent histories of objects and human remains that can still be found in European collections today. I also take a closer look at questions of restitution and reparations with regard to the thematization of political violence.
