This festival celebrates Black cultural production and critical inquiry and seeks to explore the structures that make Blackness seem natural, self-evident, and variously foreign across Europe.

At 麻豆传媒视频网站, this concludes the 2023-24 [Black Europe] speakers鈥� series, which has aimed to challenge the notion of Europe as a white space, and to highlight the gaps in studies of race in Europe and in colonial contexts.

At SOAS, this festival caps off the Centre for Migration and Diaspora Studies鈥� speakers and film series听
