"Dear White People…" Let’s Break the Silence! is a festival which deals with themes such as the intertwined nature of colonialism and racism, the connection between ecological crises and the exploitation of the Global South, and the systemic structures behind the (multiple) modes of discrimination within our society through workshops, podium discussions, performances, lectures, films, exhibitions and podcasts.
