Movie poster for the documentary "The Empty Grave"


The Empty Grave: Screening and Discussion 
Thursday, March 26 | 5:00PM-7:30 PM 
CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, NYC 
Posnanski Auditorium (concourse level)
The documentary The Empty Grave (Germany/Tanzania 2024) follows the emotional journey of two Tanzanian families in search of their stolen ancestors. Their quest leads one family to Germany where tens of thousands of human remains from former colonies are stored in museum depots - a haunting legacy of colonial plunder in the early 20th century, taken for racist research and as macabre trophies. The other family locates their ancestor in the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York.
The film unveils the enduring traces and traumas inflicted by colonial crimes on families and highlights their resilience while probing the complexity of identifying and repatriating these human remains.
Konradin Kunze, an artist and researcher who worked with the Kaaya family, will be present to discuss the challenges of repatriation, and will deliver remarks on behalf of the family. Introduction by Marta Millar (CUNY), moderated by Jonathan Bach (New School).
Admission is free. Non-CUNY participants will need to show a government-issued ID to enter the Graduate Center.
This event is co-organized by the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center and the African Studies Initiative and Global Studies Program at The New School.

The US just denied a visa to a Tanzanian man coming to visit to remains of his grandfather in the American Museum of Natural History where they're - bafflingly - still held.
You can still support him by coming to a free screening of this gorgeous doc about his quest in Manhattan on 3/26!

There was a wall of cops waiting at the gate when we arrived at Schiphol.

Maybe now you're ready? I'll meet you in the car.

I'm not here to wander an infinite shopping mall, having my gait and eye movements tracked and scanned to create shopping and threat profiles for companies to sell to each other, governments to exploit in their for-profit prisons and wellness camps.

Stop Cop City gave us a lot of tactics on how to get in the way of fascist infrastructure being built. Those tactics need to be utilized and expanded in the way that ICE Watch has used and greatly developed the tactics of Cop Watch.

clean up I'm the one who started the fight.

I was the one shouting. I was the one who ran to help. I was the one who stepped to the driver. When he got out of the car looking for a fight, he found me.

There is a reason why the guards at this jail don’t want the rest of the world to hear what this attorney recorded — the sound of hundreds of children chanting “let us out.”

What an incredible act of bravery from these kids, resisting these horrors.
