Abstract
(Englisch)
This thesis looks at the experiences and culture initiated by some Black artists and activists on an urban scale, as well as their individual microgeographies within their city of residence. However, cities—no matter how diverse they can be—are still amalgamations of national discourses, traditions, and politics as well as hyper-local realities. Often there is a dissonance between being both Black and American or Black and European or African in Europe, thus these activists and artists find “it easier to identify with a general sense of Europeanness, African identity, or a wider black diasporic consciousness” (Hawthorne, 159). It is this “Black diasporic consciousness,” which is being mapped through the local realities of the respondents in this thesis.
