Decolonial Goods Store: A sound installation that makes colonial history audible

The Decolonial Goods Store transforms EinLaden in Gelsenkirchen into an open sound space full of perspectives, voices, and questions. The interactive installation invites visitors to experience (post)colonialism sensually and explore the topic of decolonization at their own pace.

A space that calls for listening

Amidst used furniture, texts, interviews, and sound layers, a special event experience unfolds. Visitors move through a temporary store that serves as an archive, stage, and discussion space. The result is a dense event atmosphere that doesn't need to be loud to leave an impact.

Sound art with attitude and precision

The space and sound installation was created in collaboration between Stefan Demming and musician KMRU. The approach cleverly combines artistic research, event planning, and audience engagement: it’s about exchange, memory, and new perspectives. This is exactly what gives the format its authority and emotional power.

Opening hours and accompanying program

For the appointment on July 5, 2026, visiting hours are set to begin at 3:00 PM. According to event information, the offer is free of charge. The installation is complemented by additional opening hours as well as dates for introductions, discussions, and a rap workshop with registration. This makes the Decolonial Goods Store more than just an exhibition: it becomes a lively forum.
