WHEN? Wednesday 3rd November 18-19 EEST / 17-18 CEST
WHERE? online
In the second session of In conversation with the Finnish institutes we discuss safer spaces together with our guests Efe Ogbeide and Isabelle N’diaye. We examine ways in which institutions, cities and public spaces can become safer for minoritized groups and individuals.
They are joined by Malin Bergström from the Finnish Institute for the Benelux. The discussion is moderated by Monica Gathuo.
This seminar is the second installment of a 7-part discussion series called “In Conversation with the Finnish Institutes” hosted by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes (Benelux, Berlin, Middle East, New York, Oslo, Paris, and the UK + Ireland). Each of the 7 discussions, which will take place online from October 2021 until January 2022, will focus on different subject matters from decolonisation to Sámi arts and culture.
