Kavena Hambira, "Filming the Unfinished Past: Namibia’s Genocide, East Germany, and the Politics of Memory": Monday, March 17, 11:30-12:30 p.m., MLB 3308 (Conference Room)

Kavena Hambira is a Namibian filmmaker and a descendant of the Herero and Nama genocide perpetrated by Germany in 1904 - 1908. He is also the recipient of international solidarity that brought him to East Germany as a child refugee. Hambira uses film to bridge geography and time, illuminating the enduring legacies of the genocide and the ongoing struggle for restitution and reconciliation.
