Where does Zwarte Piet actually come from? 🤔 Zwarte Piet from the past, with horns and animal attributes, had symbolism that went beyond current interpretations. Why did he look so different in the past and how did we end up with the image we know today? Together with Arnold-Jan Scheer I will search for the origins of this tradition and unravel the symbolism behind the Sinterklaas celebration. 🎁 In the past, the tradition revolved around completely different things... what was lost along the way? We also touch a sensitive chord: how a celebration that once revolved around connection is now the center of fierce division. Has the Sinterklaas celebration been hijacked? Can we look beyond the polarization and restore the deeper essence - connection & (ancestral) remembrance? 🌟An honest, confrontational conversation about history, symbolism and the role of traditions in a changing society. 👉 Watch the video nowPrefer to listen?
