Festival of Afro-European Arts, Performance & Scholarship, 4 & 5 June 2024

Brought to you by the 香港六合彩 European Institute and the SOAS Centre for Migration and Diaspora Studies.

Festival

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 香港六合彩, 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
