Toro (assistant cu rator outreach\, Brücke Museum)\n\nHow can textiles challenge colonial hie rarchies of value? In this talk\, the artist Percy Nii Nortey and the cura tor Ximena G. Toro\, reflect on textiles as both artistic medium and site of labour\, memory\, and embodied knowledge. In Nortey’s practice\, fabric carries the traces of daily work. By collaborating with workers in Ghana\ , he transforms stained cloth into a material archive of proletarian labou r. The discussion focuses on the Break from Reality exhibition at the Niko laikirche in Berlin\, which was produced as part of the 2024 Dekoloniale A rtist Residency\, organised by Dekoloniale and Stadtmuseum Berlin. It also considers the artist's broader artistic practice\, exploring its engageme nt with labour\, visibility and value. It considers how recognition is sha ped and whose labour remains unseen.\n\nPercy Nii Nortey is a multidiscipl inary artist born and based in Kumasi\, Ghana. His practice explores theme s of identity\, materiality\, decolonization\, memory\, and labor\, blurri ng the boundaries between installation\, performative objects\, and moving sculptures. Deeply rooted in his personal history and the socio-economic conditions of Ghana\, Nortey’s work aims to decolonize minds\, empower Bla ck communities\, and reclaim agency over their narratives. \n\nXimena Guti érrez Toro is an artist and assistant curator in the Outreach Department o f the Brücke-Museum in Berlin.\n\nThis event will be held in English. We a re committed to respectful interaction. Discriminatory behavior has no pla ce at our events.
