KREYOLIZATION
A video essay presenting an exploratory research about Black experiences within education.
Kreyolization: Resisting Assimilation Violences explores the violence of assimilation and strategies of Black resistance. This video offers insight into some of the identity-related experiences of Afro-descendants with education in Belgium and the Netherlands, and shows how these experiences led to alternative spaces, forms and sources of knowledge production.
This video was screened at the Afroeuropeans Studies Conference (2019, Lisbon) and at the Symposium On the Matter of Blackness in Europe (2019, Los Angeles).
