This event will be held in English and is free of charge.

Please join us for the screening of three short films and a discussion about everyday (migrant) activism. Together with the creators, Piotr Goldstein and Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, we will talk about what activism is. Does it only happen in organizations and movements? Does all activism make sense? Who can become an activist? Who are ‘professional activists’, and who will never be ‘socially active’? Finally, how can we decolonise the ways in which we research, think, and talk about activism?
