It's a rainy 🌧 start here in Amsterdam but there's enough energy for Bigi Spikiri march to Oosterpark for Keti Koti.

Join us for an interactive session tomorrow in Wageningen for my Keti Koti public lecture. What are the common grounds we stand on as we contemplate, commemorate and memorialise this shared history and heritage?
