#65 Keti Koti Westerpark x Kunsttraject

On July 1st, we commemorate and celebrate Keti Koti—”Broken Chains” in Sranantongo—marking the abolition of slavery in Suriname and the ABC-SSS islands. Buro Stedelijk presents a collaborative spatial intervention that transforms the Staatsliedenbuurt into a poetic memorial landscape.

This year’s collaboration with Keti Koti Westerpark and Kunsttraject features writer and spoken word artist Babs Gons, whose powerful poem “Wie zijn we morgen” (Who are we tomorrow) unfolds across the Kunsttraject windows throughout the neighbourhood. Each stanza creates waypoints in an embodied journey of reflection, inviting visitors to walk, experience, and sit with histories often relegated to the margins of Dutch collective memory.

We hereby seek to understand what it means to live as a subject of colonial power and how the legacies of slavery and colonialism live on for descendants as citizens today.

Designer, writer, and educator Jeanine van Berkel translates Gons’s words into a visual language that draws from vernacular traditions of resistance and commemoration. Van Berkel’s research into visual genealogies of the African diaspora informs her design approach, creating a dialogue between text and image that resonates with both historical depth and contemporary urgency.

Through this interdisciplinary collaboration, we create a temporary monument that goes beyond mere acknowledgement of our colonial past. Together, we explore modalities of celebration, resistance, and mourning—examining how public space can become a site for collective reckoning and imagining new possibilities for shared futures.

Op 1 juli herdenken en vieren we Keti Koti––”Ketenen Gebroken” in Sranantongo––de afschaffing van de slavernij in Suriname en op de ABC-SSS eilanden. Buro Stedelijk presenteert een ruimtelijke interventie die de Staatsliedenbuurt transformeert in een poëtisch herdenkingslandschap.

Dit jaar bestaat de samenwerking met Keti Koti Westerpark en Kunsttraject uit een samenwerking met schrijver en spoken word kunstenaar Babs Gons, wiens krachtige gedicht “Wie zijn we morgen” zich ontvouwt over de ramen van Kunsttraject door de Staatsliedenbuurt. Elke strofe creëert tussenstops in een belichaamde reis van reflectie, en nodigt bezoekers uit om te wandelen, te ervaren en te zitten met geschiedenissen die zijn verbannen naar de marge van het Nederlandse collectieve geheugen.

We streven ernaar te doorgronden wat het betekent om te leven als subject van koloniale macht en hoe de nalatenschap van slavernij en kolonialisme doorwerkt voor mensen in het heden.
Ontwerper, schrijver en docent Jeanine van Berkel vertaalt de woorden van Gons in een visuele taal die put uit vernaculaire tradities van verzet en herdenken. Van Berkels onderzoek naar visuele genealogieën van de Afrikaanse diaspora vormt de basis van haar ontwerpbenadering, waardoor een dialoog tussen tekst en beeld ontstaat die zowel historische diepgang als hedendaagse urgentie visualiseert.

Door deze interdisciplinaire samenwerking creëren we een tijdelijk monument dat verder gaat dan alleen de erkenning van ons koloniale verleden. Samen verkennen we manieren van viering, verzet en rouw, waarbij we onderzoeken hoe de openbare ruimte een plek kan worden voor collectieve bezinning en nieuwe mogelijkheden voor gedeelde toekomsten.

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.
