Acknowledge Rebuild. Wunderkammers of Rotterdam's colonial past

Exhibition 'Acknowledge Rebuild. Wunderkammers of Rotterdam's colonial past' in Kunsthal Rotterdam

In collaboration with Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Kunsthal Rotterdam will be presenting Acknowledge Rebuild – Wunderkammers of Rotterdam’s Colonial Past. This ‘total installation’ curated by the artist patricia kaersenhout on the occasion of the Slavery Memorial Year, will feature work by emerging artists. In an associative way, historical objects from various museum collections and archives in the city of Rotterdam are linked to contemporary artworks. In addition, family properties and personal stories of Rotterdam residents illustrate the legacy of the city's slavery history. This will result in a surprising perspective on the colonial past of Rotterdam, which is largely unknown, and its continued effects on our present-day lives.
