We regard colonial heritage not as static objects but as living beings that embody stories and meaning.

Beyond Walls initiates and curates projects that bring together research, storytelling, and artistic practice, working independently and in collaboration with communities, cultural institutions, and academic partners. Our work includes research, exhibitions, documentaries, artistic interventions, and advisory roles, grounded in the belief that the combination of research, storytelling and art can create both intellectual and emotional engagement with colonial legacies and heritage.

We work toward long-term collaborations and structural change within and beyond institutional frameworks. Agency, locality, and co-creation are central to our approach, inspired by Taiye Selasi and the critical work on unlearning imperialism by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay.

Through transnational partnerships and international knowledge exchange, we deepen our understanding beyond our own contexts and actively contribute to global conversations on decolonization and transformative change.

Key to our work method is the combination of research, storytelling and art.
