Description of the side event The Context
Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking journey through New York City’s hidden histories. This decolonial tour, organized by Women for Peace in the World, PAD Belgium Observatory, the guidance of Weyu Shameka, will shed light on the erased stories of Indigenous and African-descendant communities in the making of this metropolis. New York, originally known as Manahatta, was home to the Lenape people, an Algonquin-speaking civilization that faced violent displacement starting with European colonization. Through this tour, we reclaim narratives, challenge dominant histories, and walk the streets with a new awareness of the past’s enduring impact on our present. Location of the side event Point of meeting in front of the visitors American Museum of Natural Historyentry and exit through Central Park West (upstairs) at 79th Street
