The network connects scientists, activists, artists, and media professionals. Organizationally, it is part of the CRC Affective Societies and expands the expertise in transdisciplinary affect and emotion research in Berlin.

The Affect and Colonialism platform is carried out in partnership with scientists at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Humboldt Universität Berlin. It is supported and coordinated by the anthropologist Dr. Jonas Bens, the philosopher Dr. Fabian Bernhardt, the ethnologist Dr. Rosa Cordillera A. Castillo, communication scientist Dr. Débora Medeiros and the art historian Dr. Verena Straub. Now the concept has won a prize totaling 148,600 euros.

The awarded concept of the Affect and Colonialism platform provides a multimedia and multilingual platform on which the close interweaving of affect and colonialism is illuminated and discussed through podcasts, videos, and digital exhibitions. A fellowship program is also attached to the project, which enables researchers, especially from the Global South, to present their work on the platform.
