“We blacks must stick together” was the dictum stated by then-Minister President of Bavaria, Franz Joseph Strauß (a member of the CSU political party whose party color is black), to justify his close friendship with Togo’s former president, Gnassingbé Eyadéma. This political alliance between two men placed economic interests before human rights and thus provided for continuity in the (post-)colonial relationship between the two countries—a relationship Germany had only just started to come to terms with.
An artistic team with an international background and biographical connections in Togo and Bavaria traces the present-day resonances in both places of the relationship between the colonists and those who were colonized.
