Event Description 

Explore two captivating stories from the early modern Low Countries, focused on survival in unfamiliar and hostile worlds. Once overlooked, these narratives—an autobiography of a middle-class woman seeking acceptance and 17^thcentury reports of human experiments on uninhabited islands—offer unique insights into knowledge production, gender norms, emotions, and encounters with the non-human.
