CHR Next Generation Fellow Kim Gurney was interviewed for a podcast by Bozar Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, on the topic of decolonisation and the public space. It forms part of a podcast series looking at the lessons of the past, understanding the intense reality of today and envisaging the future. This series reflects on ideas sidelined in the past that are now slowly gaining a place in our society.

The podcast caption reads: “How should our streets, statues and monuments reflect the world we live in? Stella Nyanchama Okemwa, from the Belgian NGO “Hand in Hand against Racism,” is clear: we need to radically rethink how we celebrate power. In this episode, we take inspiration from South Africa, where #RhodesMustFall has created a space for unofficial rolling artwork, where anyone can take the stage. Writer and artist Kim Gurney, who has examined the case up close, shares her experiences with us.
