The video as experimental documentary, presented in a director’s cut format, moves from the history of Black Marxism, trans* and LGBTQI+ history to analysis of racism, Black Lives Matter! In the work, we lead a discussion in an artistic format of animation, rap music (rap duo EsRap, Austria), Zoom recordings, to provide the analysis of the logic of Western colonialism and capitalism, which requires a more accurate and complex analysis of racism. In doing so, we do not bypass a defunct space of former Eastern Europe, which came to the fore in a new Cold War situation with the war in Ukraine.
Though the former Eastern Europe is inferior to the „former“ West in the global process of racialization, colonialism and racism, exclusionary processes operate in the former Eastern Europe, during the socialist period and in the post-socialist period, to maintain the racial configuration and reproduction of Europe as white, Christian, and „European.“ Against this backdrop, we combine documentary material and thought with immensely powerful positions of those reflecting on racism, discrimination and colonialism to highlight decolonial, feminist, Marxist, trans* and sexual forms of insurrectionary movements. State, democracy, violence and the politics of death form a unity that is reflected as such in this project.
