Traces of Slavery guided walk

City-Walk exploring the slavery past of Utrecht (approx. 1.5 hours): starting point Janskerkhof.

In this city-Walk exploring the slavery past of Utrecht you will visit places in the old center of Utrecht where it becomes clear how the city and its (former) inhabitants are connected in various ways with the history of slavery and the global trade in enslaved people.

(Registration needed!)

M/F/X Documentary and Discussion: Janskerkhof 2-3, room 013.

In M/F/W we meet a transwoman in Honduras, a transman in Vietnam and a transgender non-binary person in the Netherlands. In every country, transgender people experience their own struggles – ranging from violence and discrimination to depression and exclusion. The moving personal stories told in the documentary foster inclusivity, open-mindedness, dignity, and acceptance.
