This online event delves into the significant, yet often overlooked, history of the Black, migrant, and refugee women's movement (zmv-beweging) in the Netherlands from the 1970s and 80s. These women played a crucial role in developing ideas around intersectionality, racism, and feminism, contributions that have largely been obscured or erased. The program includes artist Patricia Kaersenhout, who created intergenerational portraits reflecting the legacy of female activists, scholars, poets, and journalists from Surinamese and Caribbean backgrounds. Professor Dr. Gloria Wekker, a participant in the original zmv-movement, will share her insights into this hidden history and Kaersenhout's work. Twie Tjoa, a prominent figure in the zmv-movement and director of stichting ZAMI, will also share her experiences.
