The symposium "Networks of the Black Atlantic: Heritage, Knowledge and Solidarity" is part of a broader movement addressing the urgent need to decolonize institutions and build a more inclusive cultural sector. By bringing together actors from diverse backgrounds, we hope to contribute to strengthening connections between communities and promoting a better understanding of the challenges associated with Black Atlantic heritage, while stimulating concrete initiatives for a future in which art and culture play a central role in social transformation.
