Simone Zeefuik

Simone Zeefuik is the Afro-Dutch writer, cultural programmer and tea critic whose work centers Blackity Blackness. She focuses on the ways these decolonial and anti-colonial forms of Blackness shape the imaginations as they can be seen in her most beloved art forms: film, writing, theatre, paintings and sculptures. She’s the initiator and program director of Blacker Blackness, the temporary master program at Amsterdam’s Sandberg Institute. Zeefuik is also the co-initiator of the Project Wiaspora-podcast and PaarsPaars, the platform where Black thinkers who are based in the Netherlands and Belgium reflect on plays, films and exhibitions made by Afro-Dutch and Afro-Belgian artists.

Simone Zeefuik

#5 Dia di Lucha pa Libertat

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
