During this engrossing evening with inspiring guests, captivating live performances and powerful words, we reflected on the necessity of civil disobedience and the inspiring shapes it may have taken in the past and present.<\/p>\n<p>How do you make injustice visible? How do you uncover the blind spot of the people for structural and institutional racism, without using violence? \u2018Hello?! See and feel what happens and how that is!\u2019. Martin Luther King jr. stimulated civil disobedience: remarkable actions that create uncomfortable and tense situations, and thus stimulate thought and confront the people. Peaceful and creative actions that try to navigate from confrontation to empathy and dialogue, with in the end, positive change.<\/p>\n<p>The Martin Luther King speech was given by Clarice Gargard, journalist, programme-maker, filmmaker and writer. In her speech, \u2018Why, resist?\u2019, Clarice emphasized the core role of resistance and of knowing and respecting one\u2019s self and history. Additionally, the revolutions happening worldwide, being \u2018woke\u2019, and the \u2018cancel, accountability and call out culture\u2019 were touched upon, while she also reflected on the road to liberation and transformation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"o-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Martin Luther King 2022 - Clarice Gargard Keynote speech &#039;Why, resistance?&#039;\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uxZALmGi570?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cYou may well ask, \u201cWhy direct action? Why sit-ins, marches, etc.? Isn\u2019t negotiation a better path?\u201d You are exactly right in your call for negotiation. Indeed, this is the purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored\u2026. I have earnestly worked and preached against violent tension, but there is a type of constructive non-violent tension that is necessary for growth.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>(Martin Luther King jr., \u2018Letter from the Birmingham Jail\u2019, 1963) <\/em><\/p>\n\n        \n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"o-wrapper u-padding-vertical link alignwide alignfull\" id=\"image-gridblock_1b9a685f00d84f9c11099ef33d87a31d\">\n      <div class=\"c-image-grid\">\n              <div class=\"c-image-grid__item\">\n          <div class=\"o-ratio o-ratio--4:3\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/justiceandpeace.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Maria-Toko_photographer-Maja-Andersson_EDIT.jpg\" class=\"c-image-grid__image o-ratio__content\">\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"c-image-grid__item\">\n          <div class=\"o-ratio o-ratio--4:3\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/justiceandpeace.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jhilani_-photographer-Raffaella-Gargiulo_EDIT-scaled.jpg\" class=\"c-image-grid__image o-ratio__content\">\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"o-wrapper u-padding-top content alignwide alignfull\" id=\"content-block_21d77f02cb283ce0faac47c1cddadc8f\">\n  <div class=\"o-layout\">\n    <div class=\"o-layout__item o-content u-1\/1 u-2\/3@tablet\">\n\n      <div >\n        \n        <h2>Line up<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Maria Toko<\/strong>\u00a0is a professional performer and creator in podium art, a public speaker, a manager, a community builder, a family-person.
