ZWARTE IBIS official trailer
A young Black woman embarks on a journey through time and space where imagination and reality merge. She is guided by a mysterious entity.
Zwarte Ibis (tr. Black Ibis) portrays a young Black woman’s quest for intimacy in a world where the boundaries between the individual and the collective, the political and the personal, the past and the present, become ever blurrier. This poetic reverie is an afro-surrealistic imagination of contemporary notions of relationships with oneself and with an imagined community, questioning historically and culturally imposed views on Black people’s intimate lives in the diaspora.
A film by BLACK SPEAKS BACK in association with IF I CAN’T DANCE, I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR REVOLUTION Starring HENRIETTE “AELIA SAPPH” VALIES, JUNADRY LEOCARIA, RODAE VALENTIJN and SHANTI MONKOU Music by CHRIS “CI” RICKETS Text by MATHIEU CHARLES Narration by BURNICE HIWAT Talking Drum by AMINU GONGON Sacred Sounds by HOUSE OF VIBRATION Edited by CHRIS TJONG AYONG Visual effects by ROBERT-JONATHAN KOEYERS Director of photography HENCK PENGEL Co-produced by LA FAM PRODUCTIONS Written by NOHELY KOEYERS, EMMA-LEE AMPONSAH, CHRIS “CI” RICKETS and ALEXINE GABRIELA Directed by EMMA-LEE AMPONSAH

    My daughter is half Belgian im Mexican American me and her father split and i came back to America while pregnant but she is completely white. Me and my parents are all brown skinned so she practically glows with her bright blond hair and grey eyes. She faces discrimination in school because we live in a very Hispanic and black community. She has come home crying because children on the bus have colored her hair with black marker calling her a white b*tch. My baby is only 6 years old and it pains my heart to have her attacked for something she has no control over.

    De politiek in Belgie zegt: het is een kinderfeest en laat het ook een kinderfeest blijven maar ondertussen moet alles veranderd worden aan dit kinderfeest. Waar is ONZE traditie en cultuur dan nog??? Jullie komen hier wonen en willen alles anders hebben. Zijn jullie Belgen of wat anders??? Misschien moeten we Belgie ook veranderen van naam. Want daar hangt ook een geschiedenis aan die jullie niet bevallen. Ik bedoel maar, waar gaat dit stoppen. De geschiedenis is gepasseerd... Met Zwarte piet en Sinterklaas aan te pakken zal de geschiedenis niet veranderen. Ik voel me geen Belg meer in mijn eigen land!!! Ik begrijp dit niet. Ik voel me echt in een hoek geduwd op heel veel vlakken: Sinterklaas, Zwarte Piet, het klimaat, al die genders stuff, al dat protesteren op straat, in steden, museums belagen(vandalisme), sportwedstrijden boycotten, Nu ook in Nederland word de democratie ook weer niet aanvaard, het volk heeft mogen stemmen en dan komen al de linkse mensen op straat om de boel weer op te jutten.....Jullie kunnen niet verwachten dat andere mensen met andere waarden en gewoonten altijd moeten plooien voor jullie eisen. Het in de strot rammen van alles wat jullie niet aanstaat. Dat gaat gewoon niet.

    Dankjewel voor jullie uitzending, ik vond ze zeer krachtig. Ik ben 30, blank en ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik voor de grote heisa in NL rond dit thema vorig jaar, nog nooit naar zwarte piet gekeken had als racistisch. Ik denk dat dit het bewijs is dat we als gewone mensen vergeten zijn waar dit vandaan kwam. Educatie lijkt me inderdaad iets waar je niet om zult heen kunnen als je dit wil veranderen. Het spijt me om te horen dat jullie hier al 10 jaar of langer mee bezig zijn en dit me maar vorig jaar ter ore komt... Tradities in vraag stellen is nodig! Ze veranderen is verdomd moeilijk, maar wel nodig in dit geval. Het hielp in ieder geval om op straat er mee te komen en in de pers. Dat geloof ik echt. Ik ben kleuterjuf en merk dat de kleuteronderwijsopleiding in België die ik volg jullie alleszins heeft gehoord! Zij zijn mee met jullie verhaal. Keep telling the world!

    I am Angolan. After my ten years in Ukraine, I expected a better Belgium, but the country is full of people, the services are awful & costly, and I feel pure racism hidden under "Bonjour and smiles". I have been to many countries and I wonder why would someone want to live in Belgium. Well, there is no perfect country anyway. ...If this generation can't learn from history, then the next generation will do (it takes time to accept other things/guilt... ). I am mostly surrounded by Europeans btw. I would avoid generalization.

We must see who benefits from their race, who is disproportionately impacted by negative stereotypes about their race, and to who power and privilege is bestowed upon - earned or not - because of their race, their class, and their gender. Seeing race is essential to changing the system." Reni Eddo-Lodge "Stop talking about race" would have been great advice centuries (or even millennia) ago before the racism became institutionalised.
