Exhibition, 'Every Artist Must Take Sides – Resonances of Eslanda and Paul Robeson' at the Akademie Der Kunste, Berlin in cooperation with the Centre for Humanities Research, 14 November 2025 to 25 January 2026.‘Every Artist Must Take Sides – Resonances of Eslanda and Paul Robeson’, launched on 14 November 2025 at the Akademie der Künste (ADK). The Paul Robeson Archive was founded 60 years ago at the former Akademie der Künste (East) in Berlin. The extensive collection provides an insight into the life and work of Paul Robeson – African-American singer, actor, lawyer and activist – and that of the author, anthropologist, UN correspondent, artist manager and political intellectual Eslanda Goode Robeson. The couple linked the anti-racist struggle in the USA with anti-colonial movements in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, international workers’ struggles in the spirit of socialist internationalism, and anti-fascist freedom struggles in Europe – such as the Spanish Civil War. The title of the exhibition refers to the latter: a quote from Paul Robeson’s speech at the Royal Albert Hall in 1937 in solidarity with the International Brigades, in which he called for a clear stance against fascism.The artistic works focus on the actualisation of these resistant and relational practices, the role of voice, sound and body, and the questioning of geopolitical constellations between anti-colonial liberation movements and the Cold War. The ideas of international solidarity and universal humanity negotiated therein form the thematic space of resonance in which contemporary artistic works enter into dialogue with the archival materials.With artworks by James Gregory AtkinsonLeila BencharniaSonya ClarkLia Dostlieva & Andrei DostlievaAngela FerreiraMasimba HwatiPatricia kaersenhoutAriel William OrahKirsten ReeseMatana RobertsDread ScottKatharina WardaPhotograph of Sonya Clarke's multimedia installation, We Are (2023) with James Gregory Atkinson's Sohn/Brudet/Vater/Liebhaber/Freund (2023) ...
