SAY IT LOUD: Who’s Talking?

Zaterdag 10 april, 15:00 - 16:30 uur, Nederlands

Naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling SAY IT LOUD organiseert het Bonnefanten een paneldiscussie over witte musea, curatoren en kunstenaars die werken met thema’s of culturen die niet van hen zijn. Tegen de achtergrond van het eurocentrisme en het institutionele racisme die nog steeds aanwezig zijn in de kunstwereld moet de vraag gesteld worden wat de do’s en don’ts voor de witte kunstprofessional zijn. In hoeverre kan hij werken met de culturen en geschiedenissen van gemeenschappen waar hij niet toe behoort? Hoe kan hij dat op een respectvolle, democratische en inclusieve manier doen? Wat zijn de belangrijkste stappen die genomen moeten worden om tot een geëmancipeerd, democratisch en inclusief museum te komen?

Keynote sprekers:

Marian Duff (Oprichter en directeur-bestuurder OSCAM), Raquel van Haver (Deelnemend kunstenaar SAY IT LOUD), Hans van Houwelingen (Deelnemend kunstenaar SAY IT LOUD), Stijn Huijts (Directeur Bonnefanten en curator SAY IT LOUD), Alle Jong (Deelnemend kunstenaar SAY IT LOUD), Juul Sadée (Deelnemend kunstenaar SAY IT LOUD)

Moderator:

Shehera Grot (Beeldend kunstenaar en curator bij de Kunsthal Rotterdam)

4 ARTISTS IN DIALOGUE: STORIES ON DECOLONIZATION AND DIVERSITY

Sunday 11 April 2021, 14:00 – 15:30, English

In this dynamic livestreamed event, 4 artists from different disciplines will share their views on (de)colonization and diversity. 

Writer Sylvia Pessireron, whose parents arrived in The Netherlands about 70 years ago, will talk about the painful and often ignored (colonial) history of The Moluccas and The Netherlands.
Visual artist Juul Sadée will elaborate on the art objects that she created in collaboration with Moluccan women from Maastricht, especially for the SAY IT LOUD exhibition. These works zoom in on the invisibility of Moluccan women in colonial history and current times.

Dutch pop artist Sef (Yousef Gnaoui) will join via Zoom to discuss his work and methods. Sef made a song based on BLKNWS, the video installation by artist Kahlil Joseph that’s one of the highlights of the exhibition.

Last but not least there’s Raquel van Haver. Her collection of grand, sculptural paintings is an absolute showstopper of Say It Loud. Her paintings, inspired by visits to Colombia, her place of birth, will be the last topic of discussion.

Story-Line brings storytellers from different disciplines together on stage to share or perform their stories: authors, journalists, film makers, photographers, artists, actors. In Story-Line events these stories offer you a broad perspective on different topics. Additional partners for this event are Bonnefanten Museum and Interdisciplinary Arts (iArts Maastricht).

Keynote speakers:

Raquel van Haver, Sylvia Pessireron, Juul Sadée and Rapper Sef
