Exterminate All the Brutes II: Conversations on the Colonial Past

"Through time, into the darkest hours of humanity,
the documentary deconstructs the making and masking of history,
digging deep into the exploitative and genocidal aspects of European colonialism,
from America to Africa and its impact today."

We live in a changing society filled with increasing social unrest, conflict, and inequality. How did we get here? How has the past shaped our present, and can a deeper understanding of uncomfortable histories guide us towards a better future? Join us for the screenings of Exterminate All The Brutes, a powerful four-part documentary series by esteemed filmmaker Raoul Peck, which details European colonialism’s exploitative and genocidal characteristics across America, Africa and beyond. Peck’s work supports us in examining how history has been constructed and continues to inform our present world.

Following each episode, screened on different evenings, engage in conversations co-facilitated and organised by AFRA Education and Training, Studium Generale, and art gallery 38CC. Moving away from traditional panel discussions, these conversations invite participants to share their own curiosities and questions, collectively expanding our understanding. Together, we’ll unpack the rich and sometimes heavy content that we have just observed to build interpretations, make connections, and consider other viewpoints. These conversations are underpinned by stimulating curiosity to uncover complexities that lay beneath the surface, all in a safe setting abound with thoughtful and provocative art.

This is the second event in a . The next events will take place on November 11th and December 2nd.
