When the English settlers began to conquer and colonize Aotearoa to make it New Zealand, they began a process of erasure. They wanted a blank page on which to write their history: the story of thriving cities and tamed nature, populated by creatures that had been imported from their homeland, as had everything else. In her “Kin City” video talk, Christine Winter rethinks decolonial urban ecologies from within and against these relations of violence.
Christine Winter’s video talk is based on the following article: https://berlinergazette.de/kin-cities-in-a-settler-state-whose-kin
The video talk was recorded at the “Kin City” festival, October 17-19, 2024 at the ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics.
