Sexotisch

Sexotic Documentary

Discussing racism through the lens of porn categories - that was the idea Kelly-Qian presented for this documentary series. When asked to explore this topic with her and Trudi Janssens, I couldn't refuse.

The result is Sexotic, a three-part program examining sexual racism. Through expert insights, we trace an unconventional path from colonial history and pseudoscientific biology to modern-day manifestations. Where exactly does fetishization end and racism begin?

This documentary confronts uncomfortable truths while dismantling harmful assumptions.

Watch now on Omroep ZWART via NPO START.


Racisme bespreken aan de hand van porno categorieën, dat was het idee waarmee Kelly-Qian deze documentaireserie bij mij neerlegde. Of ik dat samen met haar en Trudi Janssens wilde gaan onderzoeken. Daar kon ik geen nee tegen zeggen.

Het resultaat: 'Sexotisch', een driedelig programma over seksueel racisme. Aan de hand van diverse wetenschappers lopen we op onconventionele manier van de (koloniale) geschiedenis, via de (pseudo) biologie naar de doorwerking hiervan in het heden. Want waar stop een fetish en wanneer begint racisme?

In de serie stellen we niet alleen dingen aan de kaak, maar halen we ook aannames onderuit.

Bekijk de serie via Omroep ZWART op NPO START.
