Organisers' description:

We are facing major challenges:

pandemics, climate change and wars are just some of the crises that concern us all. How do we stay hopeful? What can we learn from each other worldwide? What are the best, most inspiring ideas in literature, art and politics? We invite inspiring people who are shaping the world of today and tomorrow to this conversation: internationally renowned authors, activists, TikTokers and rising stars.

Ann Mbuti's book ‘Black Artists Now’ brings together more than 15 impressive Black artists from around the world who are bringing a new spirit to the still predominantly white and male-dominated art world. Finally, the spotlight is shining on them, and a gap in art history is finally being closed. We are bringing Mbuti together with Teresa Bücker, whose book ‘Alle Zeit’ (All Time) will be published on 19 October and deals with the fair distribution of time and social justice. Tupoka Ogette and Zai Sylla contribute their perspective on anti-racist education. How do we change our view of the world through the telling of Black stories and history? How do we break through racist thought patterns and discriminatory social structures?
