Events

As part of the ongoing Talkshow series in Den Helder, Groningen, Eindhoven, and Rotterdam, the Caribbean Dutch community in Amsterdam gathered this past Saturday for a special edition hosted by Stichting ProFor in Amsterdam Zuidoost. The event, co-hosted by Re/Presenting Europe, featured the first public screening of Changá by Prof. Dr Francio Guadeloupe, followed by a panel discussion and audience conversation reflecting on belonging, identity, resilience, and the lived experiences of Caribbean Dutch people in the European part of the Kingdom. Representatives from both the Windward and Leeward islands joined the dialogue, highlighting the importance of community, creativity, and mutual support.

The next Talkshow will take place, following Amsterdam, will feature the second Talkshow centred on Changá as part of the ongoing Re/Presenting Europe research project.

Residents of The Hague are warmly invited to join the public discussion and actively participate in the conversation. How is life in The Hague? Do you feel at home and included in the city? Do Caribbean Dutch communities support one another enough? These are some of the questions we are eager to explore together.

To register, simply send an email to talkshow@ocan.nl, and feel free to invite others living in The Hague to join as well.

We had to postpone our Re/Presenting Europe x Keti Koti Tafel on Belonging in Academia, scheduled for May. However, we are thrilled to announce the new date: the 8th of October, 2026.
Mark your calendars already, and we hope to see many of you there.
