How Basel's Colonial History Shapes the Present
The traces of colonialism are still visible in Basel today. Basel was a transit point for emigration to the colonies. Patrician families became richer through the trade in colonial goods and enslaved people. On the city tour, you will learn not only about the colonial entanglements, but also about how these characterise Basel today. We look at current issues in a historical context: Should Basel return cultural heritage? To what extent are adverts by aid organisations racist? What does the image of Switzerland have to do with colonialism?
This tour requires no prior knowledge and is intended for all levels of knowledge.
