Messy Glossary

What does decolonial actually mean?

Can there be several meanings to one notion?

The Messy Glossary is part of the critical education program of the 12th Berlin Biennale. It is a growing, nonhierarchical assemblage of meanings and contexts related to the topics of the 12th Berlin Biennale.

With the voices of the art educators as well as invited guests, including students of the Masters Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts, it shares subjective, situated, and poetical knowledge without claiming completeness, in order to open a space for notions and new relations.
