„Black feminism wants to change the structures to deconstruct the patriarchy so that all women can benefit.“ – Prof. Dr. Natasha A. Kelly

Together with Professor Dr. Natasha A. Kelly, we will explore the origins, struggles, and contributions of Black feminist movements. A special focus will be placed on the current relevance of the Black feminist movement in Germany and its discussions on social justice.

The Lecture will:
Provide an overview of the history of Black Feminism in Germany and key thinkers of the movement.
Help participants understand how systems of domination intersect.
Facilitate discussions on current challenges and potential collective actions.
