On Saturday May 13th ‘Une ville en prise sur d’autres Histoires' invites Heleen Debeuckelaere to share her thoughts on decolonial thinking. Afterwards Véronique Clette-Gakuba and Karel Arnaut, representatives of the collective, take the floor. They will discuss the emergence of the collective, their plan of action and various objectives. 

20h00 - What does our history tell you? In this lecture Heleen Debeuckelaere will explore family history and processing historic trauma with regards to European colonial history. She believes that the 'colonial trauma' is not exclusive to Afro-descendants, but lives in the minds and families of all involved parties. With the help of historical theory, literature, film and pop culture she will try to map different roads to processing historical trauma. Wondering if it is possible, or even preferable to come to some sort of conclusion?

=> Heleen Debeuckelaere is a writer and historian, actively involved in organisations as Black speaks Black, Belgian Rennaissance and Métis de Belgique/Metis van België.

20h45 - Véronique Clette-Gakuba & Karel Arnaut on the formation of a hybrid and open collective and the multitude of issues and challenges that surround the statue of king Leopold II at Place du Trône. 

=> Véronique Clette-Gakuba is a doctoral researcher at Université Libre de Bruxelles, working on the links between art, migration and colonisation. Karel Arnaut is an associate professor and coordinator of the Interculturalism, Migration and Minorities Research Centre at KU Leuven and editor-in-chief of African Diaspora. He works on post-colonial dynamics in the area of diasporic identity-formation and activism in urban contexts in Europe and Africa.
