Keti Koti pop-up Museum
In the Theatrium building of ArtEZ Academy of Theatre & Dance.
In collaboration with the Library, the Keti Koti pop-up Museum will be set up in studio 12 of the Theatrium (Academy of Theater & Dance). Step inside and discover a wealth of (historical) information, publications, podcasts, and films that not only tell the story of Keti Koti but also show the impact of colonialism on the present.
Additionally, Saghar Afzalnia and Samira Gemin, two talented students from BEAR Fine Art at the Academy of Art & Design, will present an impressive (multimedia) installation highlighting the theme of Inclusion.
*The museum is open every day from 11 AM to 5 PM, except on June 28th when it is open from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Tracing walk through Arnhem
Also, a tracing walk through Arnhem was part of the programme, which took place on Wednesday 29 May.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of this moment and learn from the commemoration and celebration of Keti Koti, as it offers everyone from ArtEZ the chance to understand the contemporary impact of our history of slavery, honour our past, and strive for an inclusive and just society. Join us in respectfully commemorating and acknowledging the legacy of our colonial past.
