This “encounter” aims at starting a critical dialogue between the
Global South and all other cultures outside the West beyond
traditional dichotomies. We seek to have a conversation on
postcolonial practices and decolonizing strategies anchored in
everyday experiences. We are fundamentally interested in travelling
ideas and experiences and how these traverse borders regardless of
rigid conceptual definitions.
