On Experiences and Choices is een reeks gesprekken en discussies samengesteld door kunstenaar Iris Kensmil, waarin de ervaringen en culturele contexten van “black emancipation” in Nederland aan bod komen.
Significant national and international voices from multiple disciplines speak to the undoing of long-held institutional, racial, geo- and bio-political formations, hierarchies and modes of working, in a day that draws from multiple bodies of knowledge to generate and fulfill the potential of a de-colonial world.
