Awareness in Black dance cultures

Please agree to the following before purchasing your tickets

CDC Festival has always been and continues to be a celebration of Black cultures. Without these it could not exist. We recognise that Black dance styles are expressions of resistance to opression and discrimination based on race.
As CDC Festival takes place in a White dominated European context we have to deal with the fact that we all have been socialized to live within structures that encourage racism. We therefore take special responsibility to actively be anti-racist and critically engage with the space we create within and around the festival.

We offer 10% discount on all tickets for youths under 16 years old, disabled persons and people who identify as Black.

The world is enjoying and practicing Black dance cultures, so Black people should feel welcomed to events like these (no – it is not always the case, that is why we adress it).

At the same time, we ask all White and White passing persons to be aware of their white privilege. In order to share the same mindset with our participants we offer awareness & critical whiteness sessions for free that give us the possibility to be on the same page.

We all want to share good vibes and dance together! For many of us to be able to do so, awareness of the above written is required. If you feel like you want to talk about this personally, feel free to contact us via awareness@cdc-festival.com
