Tuesday, February 28, 2023 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST/GMT-5Lecture Hall - Platanenstraße 98, 13156 Berlin
Celebrating Black History Month
Da Quebrada Pro Mundo and BCB Present
BCB student, writer, and social entrepreneur Alexandre Ribeiro's linguistics study reveals that the Brazilian and North American Black populations share many cultural aspects as a means of survival and counterculture in highly racist societies.
In the first 10-15 minutes we will have a selection of Afrobeats, Afro-Brazilian, and African-American music. After that, writer Alexandre Ribeiro will present some of his comparative research between AAVE and Blackguese. At the end of the presentation, students and Black members of Bard will be called to have a debate about poetry within Black experiences at Bard and in Germany. Finally, we will open the last fifteen minutes for a fundraiser for institutions of underrepresented people. At the end, Brazilian soul food will be served provided by Quilombo Allee, a company founded and run by a Black feminist woman named Sandra Bello.
Registration is mandatory, and the event is subject to capacity.
