About this Event
"We are faced on a daily basis, with critical choices that force us to take a stand or an action. The way we decide what comes first is never as fixed... There are times where we would make different choices and choose different priorities, depending on the situation. But the reality is that it is a question we shall never be able to answer at our full satisfaction" - Simon Njami, writer and curator.
Join “What Comes First?”, a conversation with Simon Njami and Adama Sanneh.
On Thursday, the 27th at 7 pm (CET) at BASE Milano.
