: with Naomie Pieter // UNSETTLING READING GROUP
The host:
Judith Leysner
Location:
Duration per appointment: 2 hour.
Naomie Pieter will be having a session with us to talk about her anti-racist and queer activism and to tell us more about the need for this kind of activism in the Netherlands. Afterwords, we will brainstorm strategies for moving towards equality in our institutions and society at large.
Naomie Pieter is a queer and anti-racist activist whose work centers on making space for the intersections of those communities. She is the founder of ' Daughters of Ivory' and co-founder of 'Black Queer & Trans Resistance NL', as well as the initiator of Pride of Color Amsterdam, the first committee within Amsterdam Pride that focuses on the inclusion and empowerment of bi-cultural LGBTI +. She also organises Pon De Pride, a party in Melkweg which offers a safe space for black and other LHBTI + people of color to enjoy dancehall music. Naomie is currently setting up a Black Queer Archive to make visible stories that are missing in narratives of the history of the Netherlands.
