synopsis

In June 2020, thousands of people took to the streets in Brussels to raise their voices against police brutality and institutional racism, in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. At a certain point, it seemed that some demonstrators would tear down the statue of Leopold II, Belgium’s colonial king, in a nearby square. The statue is still standing, for now, but poet Marie Paule Mugeni is already preparing her speech for the day it will be removed.
Op de soundtrack leest dichteres Marie Paule Mugeni een speech voor die is geschreven voor de dag waarop het koloniale standbeeld van koning Leopold II zal worden verwijderd. Op de beelden van massale antiracismedemonstraties die in Brussel werden gehouden, wordt haar droom bijna werkelijkheid. Een reflectie van Collectif Faire-part op hoe verleden, heden en toekomst met elkaar verweven zijn in al onze daden.
