Stroom Den Haag

Permission to Dream (Networks of Embodiment)

Hoe kunnen we ons een regeneratieve toekomst voorstellen, in haar vele mogelijke gedaanten, en deze in praktijk brengen—geworteld in het land, de oceanen en tussen de sterren? Hoe geven we onszelf toestemming om samen te dromen?

We invite you to join an evening of collective exchange in our current moment of upheaval, to examine the systems that have brought us to our present conditions and the struggle for justice in Indonesia and beyond. This program is organized in collaboration with Javanese collective Gegerboyo; cellist, performer and composer Emir Cello and percussionist Sander van Elferen; cultural worker Dewi Sofia; design researcher Nabila Ernada, and visual artist and cultural worker Marie Civikov.A collective dinner/iftar will be served at 18.30, prepared by Sadji.The family tends to be a starting point for many who are curious in tracing their colonial heritage. With the rapid development of technology, genealogies that were once elusive are quickly revealed through a simple search. However, the depth of available information depends on the proximity of one’s own family to the colonial power matrix. This inequity is inherently tied to who profited from the colonial period and its lasting legacies, in Indonesia and beyond. During Unearthing, uprooting, invited speakers intend to interrogate the feudal, colonial, and capitalist functions of family in the colonial state, as well as the more recent histories of its instrumentalization as a tool of social control.Unearthing, uprooting is organized as part of the public program of Positions: Unearthing, on view until May 3rd in Stroom Den Haag.
