Der Auftakt mit dem zwanzigsten Friedrich Dürrenmatt Gastprofessor, dem britischen Autor Johny Pitts.
In Form eines Kurzvortrags und einer Diskussion wird Pitts über seine Arbeit zu "Afropean" und "B-Side" sprechen. Die Veranstaltung findet auf Englisch statt.
Afropean. Here was a space where blackness was taking part in shaping European identity ... I travelled through Paris and Brussels, Amsterdam and Bern, Stockholm, Moscow, Rome, Marseille and Lisbon, and found a continent of Algerian markets, Surinamese shamans, German Reggae and North African architecture, a B-side of the continent often not mentioned in travel guides and tourist brochures. Yes, all this was part of Europe too ... With my brown skin and my British passport - still a ticket into mainland Europe at the time of writing - I set out in search of the Afropeans, on a cold October morning. – Johny Pitts
