The starting point for The Struggle of Memory is the Deutsche Bank Collection's acquisitions of artists from Africa and/or with African roots over the past ten years.
Curator Kerryn Greenberg's selection of works focuses on personal, historical, and collective narratives with alternative perspectives that make it clear that this is also a struggle against forgetting.
Greenberg is associate curator of the 14th Gwangju Biennale and co-director of "New Curators," an annual curatorial education program that supports people from constrained socioeconomic backgrounds
