For a lot of Dutch people the festivities are related to warm and sentimental childhood memories, family holidays and a sense of belonging. For a growing group of opponents to the figure of Zwarte Piet however, it brings up memories of a hurtful past of colonialism and slavery. Moreover, it mirrors the still present, yet hidden and institutionalised racism and inequality.<\/p>\n<p>Last year we hosted the symposium: <em><strong>The story of Zwarte Piet<\/strong><\/em> on how the tradition could create such a social dichotomy and commotion. With this year&#8217;s symposium we are focusing on the public &#8216;framing&#8217; of Zwarte Piet. We strive to analyse the public debate, the different understandings of the historic origins and multiple interpretations of the figure.<\/p>\n<p>With the event we aim to facilitate dialogue and a deeper understanding of the surrounding uproar. Academics and artists will share their ideas from different perspectives, explore the current &#8216;framing&#8217; and recent developments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Isabel Hoving<\/strong> (Leiden University, co-editor of book Dutch Racism)<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Mitchell Esajas<\/strong> (New Urban Collective, Stop Blackface campaign, University of Amsterdam)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshops:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Arzu Aslan<\/strong> (confirmed)\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Workshop:<\/strong> \u201c\u202a#\u200eblacktwitter\u202c\u00a0and the power of social media in the Zwarte piet debate\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nanke Verloo<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Workshop:<\/strong> \u201cUntold stories in the public debate\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinsy Gario<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Workshop:<\/strong> \u201cSocial change through art\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jerry Afriyie<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Roelof Jan Minneboo<\/strong> as members of Nederland wordt beter<br \/>\n<strong>Workshop:<\/strong> \u201cZwarte Piet lespakket educatieve tools voor sociale verandering\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sign up via: <\/strong>www.movingtraditions.nl<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Universiteit Of\u00a0Amsterdam, Roeterseiland (REC B)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition 23rd &amp; 24th \u2013 Workshops and symposium 24th \u2013 \u00a0Film screening 25th of November On November 23rd and\u00a024th New Urban Collective\u00a0will co-organize the symposium &#8220;Moving Traditions: Framing Black Pete: In recent years, the Dutch Sinterklaas tradition has become increasingly controversial due to the figure of Zwarte Piet.
