Black Out is a project designed for promoting black music and culture and fighting against racism, principally through information technology and social media.

To do so, I present a few contextual elements about racism and the postcolonial debate in Belgium before giving examples on how the projects of Black Out are in line with some of the driving forces of the decolonial approach.
