work description

KETI KOTI X ROOTS TO FRUITS

Read and see more about the design process behind Manifestation #50: ROOTS TO FRUITS X KETI KOTI by Mirelle van Tulder

EN

The image research includes graphic archive material of (unrecognised) Black feminists in the Netherlands, women in resistance, and documentary photographs of Keti Koti celebrations and commemorations throughout the decades. The images in the collages refer to this rich landscape of ‘feminist organising’ and are found in Umoja Black Women’s Newspaper, Ashanti Surinamese Women’s Newspaper, International Institute of Social History (IISG), Atria, knowledge institute for emancipation and women’s history in Amsterdam, Library of Congress, Wikimedia Commons.

NL

In het beeldonderzoek is grafisch archiefmateriaal verwerkt van (niet-erkende) Zwarte feministen in Nederland, vrouwen in verzet en Keti Koti manifestaties door de decennia heen. De beelden in de collages verwijzen naar dit rijkelijk gevulde landschap van feministisch organiseren en werden gevonden in Umoja Zwarte Vrouwenkrant, Ashanti Surinaamse Vrouwenkrant, Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis (IISG), Atria, kennis instituut voor emancipatie en vrouwengeschiedenis in Amsterdam, Library of Congress, Wikimedia Commons.

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
