**An honest, thought-provoking and sometimes funny evening on race, culture and our shared humanity.** **All are welcome.** **None of us were born knowing about skin colour. Somewhere along the way, someone taught us. So who was it, and what exactly did we learn?** **Join Kebtah Birmingham for an open, honest and at times controversial evening of conversation. Through gentle humour, personal stories and a Dogon perspective, Mautef and Biksaa explore how inherited ideas of race shape how we see ourselves and each other, and what humanity’s shared origins can teach us about living together.** **We’ll be enquiring about what skin colour really means. The origins of prejudice and racism and how they have been so powerful in dividing us. How conditioning affects every one of us, whatever our colour, and what culture is and how it can unite or destroy us.** **Half the evening is open to the floor for your questions and views. Every voice is welcome and will be respected, whatever your background.** **Tickets: Free registration is open to all. You can support our work with a Standard (£5) or Supporter (£10) ticket, or a donation. Donations are also welcome on the night. Books and products will be available to buy.** **About Kebtah: Kebtah is a not-for-profit cultural organisation rooted in West Africa, commissioned by the Gulmu Kingship.
