 "I see decolonisation as stepping out of your cage or taking people out of a cage. You can only see yourself as a victim - then you put yourself in a cage - or you can put other people in a cage, for example by saying: they are Muslims and they are dangerous. I consider decolonisation to be a day-to-day practice in which you become aware of how quickly you yourself become stereotyped."

In the online section of the new Canvas series Children of the Colony, artistic director Chokri Ben Chikha describes what decolonisation means to him.
