A poet-historian reflects on the legacy of colonial-era collecting practices in Tanzania that displaced Black Indigenous ancestors.
. In Germany, this exercise manifested itself through the collection of ancestral human remains from different communities across the world.
My poems “Cold Hubris” and “Fundo” highlight these key issues around the nature of colonial science and the assumed logic of collecting ancestral human remains as a way to prove racial hierarchies. The works decenter these colonial actors and bring voices to those subjected to violence. Specifically, the presence of ancestral human remains from Tanzania housed in the University of Göttingen’s collections are explored in a search for the ways in which words can convey grief and in which words are inadequate. My poems aim to bring in Black Indigenous voices through oral history, traditions, and archives while also meditating on the irreparable loss of history.An ascension to the plane of godlinessno limits,Its paws are pushed up against the glass, its mouth slightly open.
