“Equality does not see colour, therefore, contributes to privilege. Equity sees colour, recognizes systemic forms of racism and actively provides resources to level the playing field” ― Sope Agbelusi
“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”― James Baldwin
These quotes help us frame the dialogue and the flow of ideas we will explore in this year’s festival: How to recognize, discuss, and ultimately address racial equity issues in different experiences: governance, education, healthcare, and neighborhoods.
We intend to use this festival as a live experiment, to abstract key metrics and work towards the first real indicator of socio-economic equity.
