19.12.22 - Steve McQueen, 'End Credits' screening at HKW Berlin
In conjunction with The Missed Seminar: After Eslanda Robeson, Steve McQueen premieres the completed version of End Credits (2012-2022) at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. A haunting monument to the threat posed by US anti-communism at the time, the audiovisual installation brings together thousands of digitised files collected by the FBI during the Cold War and decades of spying on actor, singer and activist Paul Robeson. These entanglements sketch the vision of what decolonising socialism could have been and what it can still become.
The Missed Seminar is an exhibition which reactivates archival material on the life, thought, writings, and relationships of Black feminist, anthropologist, and African-American photographer Eslanda Robeson.
End Credits by Steve McQueen was made possible with support from Holland Festival, The Netherlands; Innsbruck International, Austria; The OCC; Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), Berlin; Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD).
Screening dates:
4 - 9pm on 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 December 2022
