The Residenzpflicht (a German law forbidding refugees to leave the place where the authorities put them) is rooted in colonial and Nazi-German history. In the 90ies refugee groups started a campaign against the Residenzpflicht. S. Omwenyeke went to prison for travelling to a neighbour town without permission.

Die Residenzpflicht (ein deutsches Gesetz, das Refugees verbietet den Ort zu verlassen, wo die Behörde sie zugewiesen hat) wurzelt in der kolonialen und Nazi-deutschen Geschichte. In den 90ern haben Refugee Gruppen gegen die Residenzpflicht eine Kampagne gestartet. S. Omwenyeke musste ins Gefängnis, weil er ohne Erlaubnis in eine Nachbarstadt gereist war.

Mirror the refugee struggles - Observed and Obsever.
Original Abstract Digital Art of: Emotan Arts (2022) by Osaren Igbinoba.
"If the grassroots political struggle for the self-organisation of the oppressed is not able to strengthen the self-determination of the oppressed community in terms of full political autonomy and independence, these political spaces of the communities often become the place of political socialisation of the oppressors, instead of the resistance"
This artwork was first published in The VOICE Group in January 2022 under the title "The Similarity in Knowledge – the Observed and the Observer". It was created on the way back from Hamburg to Jena and after the discussions with friends and activists in Hamburg about White Supremacy, which inspired me to create my first abstract digital artwork dedicated to the political activism of The VOICE after its 25th anniversary.
