‘Symposium: Race, Power & Culture - DAY 2’

'Othering' practices are deeply rooted in the history of various cultural institutions in Belgium. The will and the ambitions to ‘diversify’ the staff and public and to offer varied programs collides with an inherent resistance towards change. What makes good initiatives fail? What are the blind spots of the institutions? And how can these issues be surmounted?
