Goodbye, Sarotti suggests a farewell, but at the same time marks a new beginning.

As an architectural representation of power and a colonial and neo-colonial self-conception, the former Sarotti factory becomes the site of an archaeological interrogation, revisiting the ghosts of its past. In an exchange with Berlin Postkolonial e.V., Dekoloniale – Erinnerungskultur in der Stadt and 7 artists, soft power not only wants to acknowledge and evaluate this building’s past, but also to actively shape its future. The first artistic results of this joint exploration will be presented in the inner courtyard of the factory on 3 July 2021.
