THE WORDS THEY MADE

Lange Nacht der Museen

David Dibiah – Person in sandfarbener Militär-Uniform mit Mikrofon spricht, andere Personen im Hintergrund, unscharf.

A participatory crime scene performance in which colonial language, spatial order, and the body itself become pieces of evidence. With David Debiah.

David Dibiah is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist whose work spans performance, graphic design, music, and education. A graduate in Graphic Design and a member of the Verein Berliner Künstler since 2010, Dibiah is a key figure in Berlin’s cultural scene. His notable work It Lies in Public Spaces at the Humboldt Forum critically explores colonial legacies through rap, prayer, and poetry. Currently, he is developing Berlin Reconference, a performance addressing 140 years of colonialism through storytelling, music, and philosophy.

As an educator, Dibiah teaches art in Berlin’s Jugendkunstschulen and works as a guide since 2001 for the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin fostering deeper engagement with art and culture. His work challenges narratives and inspires future generations.
