Agenda

Grenzeloze Verbeelding, LUX Nijmegen, 17sept19:30

Migratie is een van de meest besproken onderwerpen van deze tijd. Maar hoe ontstaat ons beeld ervan? Wie bepaalt welke verhalen worden verteld en welke stemmen we horen?
Tijdens Grenzeloze Verbeelding brengen onderzoekers, kunstenaars en het publiek verschillende perspectieven samen. Vanuit wetenschap, journalistiek, kunst en persoonlijke ervaringen onderzoeken we hoe beeldvorming rond migratie, conflict en identiteit ontstaat – en hoe die ook anders kan.

Vier onderzoekers en vier kunstenaars gaan met elkaar in gesprek over dezelfde maatschappelijke thema’s, ieder vanuit een eigen werkwijze. Waar onderzoek historische ontwikkelingen en maatschappelijke patronen blootlegt, maakt kunst ruimte voor ervaringen, verbeelding en verhalen die zich niet altijd laten vangen in cijfers of archieven. Juist de ontmoeting tussen deze perspectieven laat zien dat er nooit één manier is om naar de wereld te kijken.

Stateless Stories Cafe Rotterdam, 24 September 15-17u Pauluskerk Rotterdam

Stateless Rights Collective (SRC) is a stateless-led initiative in the Netherlands dedicated to raising awareness, building capacity, and advocating for the rights and recognition of stateless individuals. By placing lived experiences at the heart of our work, we bridge the gap between affected communities, civil society, and policymakers.

The Stories Cafe is an interactive, informal space designed to foster constructive dialogue between stateless individuals, local municipal authorities, legal experts, academics, and civil society actors. Rather than traditional panel lectures, our Cafes feature lived-experience storytelling, expert policy insights, and mixed round-table discussions focused on practical solutions.

What to Expect:

  • Practical insights on statelessness versus undocumented status in the Dutch context.
  • Direct, human-centered round-table conversations with stateless individuals.
  • Networking opportunities with local researchers, advocates, and policy professionals.

We look forward to strengthening our coalition and creating joint advocacy strategies together.
