Simulizi Mijini / Urban Narratives is an open invitation to explore the topic of urban heritage from below, at the intersection of the arts, activism and academia. The project started in September 2015 and has worked towards creating new bridges between Berlin, Germany and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, around the question of shared histories between the two cities. Two summer schools, 10 artist residencies and a symposium in Dar es Salaam have already taken place.
Art installations, multi-media pieces and oral narratives inspired by urban heritage in Dar es Salaam and Berlin explore the complex links between cultural identity and the built environment.

Participating artists: Rehema Chachage / Cloud Chatanda / Tellervo + Oliver Kalleinen / KUNSTrePUBLIK e.V. + Jan van Esch / Umesh Maddanahalli / Michelle Monareng / Patrick Mudekereza / Paul Ndunguru / Nadin Reschke / Alexander Römer
