In response to the commotion that has arisen around the removed work of Erik Kessels at the 2020 edition of BredaPhoto Festival a public debate was called on the nature of a new phenomenon, the so-called ‘cancel-culture. Together with Studio Zeitgeist colleague Farid Tabarki I put together this debate. I invited the speakers, interviewed the speakers, created the format and formulated questions for Farid, the moderator. Below you can watch the recording of the event.

Speakers:

• Linda Duits (Social scientist)

• Koen Kleijn (Art critic De Groene Amsterdammer)

• Alina Lupu (Post-conceptual artist)

• Fleur van Muiswinkel (Director of BredaPhoto)

• Nanja van Rijsse (Co-founder Women Skate the World)

• Erik Kessels (Artist & Curator)

• Tundé Adefioye (Dramaturgist)
