Colonial Legacies and Redress: A Digital Mapping Solution for Europe

Objective

Colonialism is often seen as a chapter in history, yet its consequences interwoven with structural racism and discrimination continue to affect societies both inside and outside of Europe today. A growing number of institutional and civil society actors recognize the urgency of addressing these enduring legacies. Their efforts encompass policy, legal, and political reforms, historical truth-seeking processes, formal apologies, reparations, restitution of looted artifacts, memorialization, and the dismantling of colonial symbols. These measures and mechanisms, and the broader processes surrounding them are commonly referred to as redress. However, these initiatives remain highly fragmented, with limited knowledge-sharing and lesson-learning across different contexts.

RedressHub will bridge this gap. As an innovative online database platform, RedressHub will leverage advanced data technologies, interactive visualization tools, and participatory design to map and connect redress initiatives for colonial harms and their legacies across Europe. This platform will serve as a dynamic space for a broad user community to engage in groundbreaking cross-sector collaborative justice efforts. It will become an essential resource for grassroots and community actors, policymakers, educators, human rights practitioners, and many other stakeholders to learn about, support, design and implement more meaningful and scalable redress initiatives across Europeand beyond.

RedressHub will thus transform the theoretical insights and methodological innovations from ERC-StG-804151 (Justice Visions) into practical, actionable tools that empower diverse stakeholders to acknowledge and address historical injustices and their lasting impact on contemporary societies.
