Border Situations is the Budapest exhibition of the LEAP – LEgAcy in Progress: (Re)Constructing European Narratives and (De)colonising Discourses project. Starting from the historical memory of the transatlantic slave trade, the exhibition examines how colonialism continues to shape the present. Following Aníbal Quijano, it uses the term coloniality to refer to the afterlife of colonialism: the ways its effects persist in modern societies. The exhibition understands this as a logic that reproduces hierarchies by granting unequal access to protection, mobility, and recognition.
