#11 Mal Ora

Join us for an evening co-curated by Kevin Osepa with performances by Travis A. G. Geertruida, Lakisha Apostel, Guenn Ramon Gustina and Yeshua Tjie-A-Loi.

EN

Do you hear that?
A fainted scream?
A distant clock striking for the 13th time?
Something that once was far is steadily approaching.

The manifestation Mal Ora is the threshold between the linear and the ungraspable, the collision of multiple practices. During the Mal Ora the underbelly of the Caribbean identity is unpacked through the lens of Kevin Osepa, Travis A. G. Geertruida, Lakisha Apostel, Guenn Ramon Gustina and Yeshua Tjie-A-Loi. Mal Ora is a manifestation in which the hidden is uncovered, where the ignored is addressed, where beauty coincides with the ugly, where contradiction runs ramped and where the secular meets superstition. On this night multiple things can be true at once. The Caribbean root will be explored through the lens of plurality rather than singularity. On this evening your entry point can a door a window or perhaps a belly button.

Papiamentu

Bo ta skuch’é?
Un gritu djaleu?
E 13 slá di mèi anochi?
Algu ayá ta aserkando.

Mal Ora ta e drèmpel mèi mèi di realidat linear i eksistensha inmaterial. Un choke di diferente práktika. Durante Mal Ora e higra di e identidat Karibense ta keda desempaketá for di bista di: Kevin Osepa, Travis A. G. Geertruida, Lakisha Apostel, Guenn Ramon Gustina i Yeshua Tjie-A-Loi. Mal Ora ta un realisashon di kua es skondí lo wordu mirá, kaminda ta trata e kuestion ignorá, unda beyesa lo paresé denter di malhecho, momentu kontradicho lo kore den eskala kresiente, I mundano lo kompañá kreensha. Kontrali na komprondementu singular, un mirada plural lo eskplorá é rais Karibense. Rib’e anochi aki, entrada ta habri, kortina lo zwai i lombrishinan ta rèis.

Hoor je dat?
Een vervaagde schreeuw?
Een klok die in de verte voor de 13e keer slaat?
Iets dat ooit ver weg was, komt steeds dichterbij.

De manifestatie Mal Ora is de drempel tussen het lineaire en het onbegrijpelijke, de ontmoeting van meerdere praktijken. Tijdens Mal Ora wordt de onderbuik van de Caribische identiteit ontrafeld door de lens van Kevin Osepa, Travis A. G. Geertruida, Lakisha Apostel, Guenn Ramon Gustina en Yeshua Tjie-A-Loi. Mal Ora is een manifestatie waarin het verborgene wordt blootgelegd, waar het genegeerde wordt aangesproken, waar schoonheid samenvalt met het lelijke, waar tegenstrijdigheid hoogtij viert en waar het seculiere samenkomt met bijgeloof. Op deze avond kunnen meerdere dingen tegelijk waar zijn. De Caribische root zal worden verkend door de lens van meervoudigheid in plaats van singulariteit. Op deze avond kan je entree een deur, een raam of misschien wel een navel zijn.

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.
