"Dekolonialwaren Huber" at the Galerie am Platz in Eglisau

“Dekolonialwaren Huber” at the Galerie am Platz in Eglisau

From July 11 to August 14, 2021, the exhibition “Dekolonialwaren Huber” by artist Sasha Huber will be a guest at the Am Platz Gallery.

From 11 July to 14 August 2021, a special exhibition will be hosted at the Galerie am Platz in Eglisau. As the gallery writes, artist Sacha Huber was inspired by a photo from the family archive for the “Dekolonialwaren Huber” exhibition. The photograph shows her great-grandfather Eugen Huber in the 1920s in front of the “E. Huber Grocery Store” on Forchstrasse 23 in Zurich.

“Through her ‘No Mohr’ sculpture series – wood carvings and handmade soap from charcoal – Sasha Huber discusses the debate over the term colonial goods and highlights it from the perspective of decolonization,” says Galerie am Platz, “the artist has been busy for many years with his Swiss-Caribbean roots and themes Memory and belonging with reference to colonial history.
