Launch READ OUR COLONIAL INHERITANCE I 31 August
The short films from the poetry film series 'Read Our Colonial Heritage,' featuring Joshua Timisela, Manuwi C. Tokai, Kevin Groen and Nisrine Mbarki, is online from August 31st! Check out the teasers this week and read more via the special page.
Read Our Colonial Inheritance invites poets, writers, and spoken word artists to create an artistic reflection inspired by a theme and an 'object' from the exhibition 'Our Colonial Inheritance' that resonate with their stories. The artists perform their work in an intimate setting around their chosen 'object' in the exhibition space. Beyond Walls co-facilitated, documented, and captured the process, including the intimate live performances, followed by talks afterward. Beyond Walls has transformed this all into a series of poetic short films that echo the impact of our colonial inheritance and call upon colonial institutions to respond.
Read Our Colonial Inheritance is developed and produced by Beyond Walls, Het Tropenmuseum and Read My World.
