The training malakaï offers is tailored to the needs of each client and incorporates their practice as an artist to facilitate a gentle, engaging, experimental approach to catalyse anti-racist thought and action. Together, participants unearth the origins of racism – examining the process and impact of European colonialism, eugenics and the construction of 'race' – enabling insights into the legacy of imperialism and how this manifests today both in the mind and in the workplace.
