A sound space that raises questions and opens new perspectives
With the Decolonial Goods Store, Gelsenkirchen will experience an interactive sound installation on May 15, 2026, that makes (Post-)Colonialism, memory culture, and the question of decolonization sensually tangible. At EinLaden on Bochumer Straße 96, an open space for voices, thoughts, and conversations will be created, accompanied by a sound composition from the musician KMRU.
Between archive, sound, and conversation
The installation does not operate like a classic exhibition but as a walkable forum. Visitors immerse themselves in a temporary architecture, discover content at their own pace, and encounter sound, text, and images as part of a dense event experience. This is precisely where the particular strength of this format lies: it connects artistic experience with political and social reflection.
A place for perspectives from the neighborhood
The Decolonial Goods Store is designed as a platform for diverse voices. The project invites reflection on colonialism, mission, power relations, and contemporary forms of decolonization. The atmosphere remains deliberately open, focused, and dialogical - ideal for all those interested in culture, discourse, and contemporary sound art.
Dates, conversation formats, and workshop moments
The opening hours are on Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, as well as on Saturday and Sunday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, additionally by appointment. The format is complemented by introductions and discussions with Stefan Demming, as well as a rap workshop with Dein Couseng. This creates a versatile cultural format between installation, workshop, conversation, and performative research.
Conclusion: An event for open ears and awake minds
Anyone looking for an unusual art experience with social relevance will find an impressive appointment at the Decolonial Goods Store in Gelsenkirchen. The installation combines sound, space, and content into an intense evening and weekend experience. Discover it live now and experience the special event atmosphere for yourself.
