Sites of memory: Space of becoming

Lees in het Nederlands

In recent years, societal shifts have accelerated the ways in which colonial histories are discussed, commemorated, and critically examined. Descendants of the enslaved are increasingly calling for recognition and reparative justice, while growing political polarization underscores the urgency of fostering meaningful, constructive dialogue. 

Space of Becoming responds to this global dynamic through a transnational artistic collaboration. It embraces research as a vital artistic practice, asking how we, as artists and creators, engage with these histories on a personal level.  

Through dance, music, spoken word, and visual art, the performance explores interconnected colonial legacies, systems of oppression, and histories of slavery, critically examining their enduring impact on societies and personal lives today. The work opens an artistic dialogue about hidden histories and creates space for reflection, dialogue and healing.
