Till The Sun Rises is a Research Edition, developed for the project Entangled Internationalism, that elucidates the crisscrossing, through the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, of images, words, and sounds in the interaction between India and the former GDR. This exchange is considered primarily in terms of its manifold connections between anti-colonial and postcolonial lives in Africa and Latin America. The point of departure is Chetna Voras documentary film OYOYO (1980), produced by the Film and Television Academy of the GDR, which recounts stories of the friendships between students from Guinea Bissau, Ethiopia, Mali, Cuba, and other places who are living in a hostel in Berlin. Unearthed in various state and non-state archives in Dresden, Delhi, Udaipur, and elsewhere, the assembled materials, which include images and analysis along with two artistic contributions in the form of a diagram and a long scroll, aim to work with both situated theory and affect. The Research Edition Entangled Internationalism, a case-based publication series emerging from the project Decolonizing Socialism: Entangled Internationalism, is published by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and edited by Doreen Mende, in conjunction with HEAD - Genève, part of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES-SO) in Geneva, Switzerland. vinit agarwal is an independent researcher and curator. vinit is currently part of the Oralities Research Lab in Jaipur, India, which focuses on tricontinental anti-colonial imaginaries and oral songs as technology.

Moses März is an artist who worked as a mapmaker on a series of Chimurenga projects, such as On Circulations and the African Imagination of a Borderless World (2018) and Imagi-Nation Nwar (2021).
