Dat huet jo näischt matt mir ze dinn - reading performance by author Chantal Maquet
Colonialism, racism, discrimination: "dat huet jo näischt mat mir ze dinn" [that has nothing to do with me]. Chantal Maquet found that it's not so easy to shirk one's responsibilities and published a graphic novel on this theme. She first addresses questions related to her own family history (her father was born in the Belgian Congo) and turns to experts for answers:
- Régis Moes, historian at the National Museum of History and Art Luxembourg (MNHA), tells the colonial history of Luxembourg.
- Jean-Louis Zeien, president of Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg, explains how colonialism influenced our current economy and offers solutions to counter these structural inequalities.
- Myriam Abaied and Antonia Ganeto from the Center for Intercultural Education (IKL) raise awareness on the theme of racism and explain how to combat it.
During the reading, the audience can accompany Chantal Maquet in her learning process. The author regularly invites the audience to ask the same questions.
