What happens when people of colour share experiences of racism or micro-aggressions and are met with silence, denial, or defensiveness? This dynamic, often described as ‘white fragility’, doesn’t just shape conversations. It shapes lives.

On 12 December, we’re bringing together an incredible panel of voices from the Asian community in Belgium and the Netherlands to unpack these everyday realities:


✨ Pete Wu: writer & journalist

✨ Fei Lauw: columnist

✨ Hyun Lories: filmmaker

✨ Mamina: Untold Asian Stories

Moderated by Sun Mee Cattrysse

Expect an honest, vulnerable and necessary conversation about subtle (and not-so-subtle) exclusion, identity, belonging and emotional labour.

This panel is part of Festival van de Gelijkheid, in collaboration with Curieus.
The talk will be in Dutch. 



Join us. Listen, learn and lean into the discomfort so many of us carry every day.
