On November 15th, The Black Archives hosts an event to mark the 10th anniversary of the Kick Out Zwarte Piet (KOZP) movement.

KOZP has announced that after ten years of raising awareness, they are ready to pass the torch to society. The program features discussions with individuals who were instrumental in the fight against 'zwarte piet' and racism. Speakers, including Kitty Balker (co-founder of Zwarte Piet Niet and Kick Out Zwarte Piet), Marisella de Cuba (Stichting We Promise), Nicchelle Buyne (spoken word artist and poet), and Mitchell Esajas (co-founder of The Black Archives, Stop Blackface, and Kick Out Zwarte Piet), will reflect on the movement's journey. They will share insights into the early years of the coalition, the recent struggles against 'zwarte piet', and the rise of the broader anti-racism movement. The event will explore the successes and setbacks of the fight, the impact of solidarity, the lessons learned from KOZP's conclusion, and how these experiences can inform the future of the anti-racism movement. Attendees are invited to share their memories of KOZP actions, which will be archived as part of the history of the anti-zwarte piet movement.
The event has an entrance fee of €7.50, with proceeds donated to KOZP. It will take place on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 19:00 to 22:00 at Bijlmerplein 140.
