Dear guys,
 
We from De Balie (a very esteemed cultural and political centre in Amsterdam)
are realizing a great Worldchat tomorrow April 20th (from 21:30 Dutch-time
CET). 
 
Hereby some more information:
 
debalie | centre for politics and culture

 

Fighting for tolerance!
7080: Worldchat | Liteside festival

 


De Balie | Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen 10 Amsterdam 

20 april | 21.30 - 00.30 hrs. | language: English

 

The 7080: Worldchat fights for global tolerance. On April 20 the greater theme
of the 7080: Worldchat will be the difficulties that an individual who was born
in a different culture than in the one in which he or she lives experiences,
not to be judged by the prejudices that exist about that culture. Sometimes
it’s almost as if every Arab has to defend himself for the fundamental points
of view of some imams. Many other examples exist. 

Will generation7080 be more tolerant than its parents? What is the role of art
to overcome cultural prejudices? What is the relationship of the media to these
prejudices: can they fight them? Do they shape them? How do young activists in
Lebanon, Iraq, or Israel fight for freedom, tolerance and emancipation?

7080: Worldchat brings together in the Balie and on the internet writers,
artists, politicians, philosophers and activists. In the Balie will be present:
Bojana K. Grabas (sociologist), Sameena Khan (designer, creator of theatre),
Rodhan Al Galidi (poet, writer), Susan Youssef (director of films) and Fatemeh
Fattahi (artist). Many others will be present on the chat. 

 

To join the 7080: Worldchat : visit the Balie at April 20 or log in from
9.30pm. Send an  email to 7080 at balie.nl receive a log in password. 

 

Yours,

 
David
