On Tuesday 12 September Kunsthal Rotterdam is organizing another edition of 'KunstKoppels' (ArtCouples). During KunstKoppels you will meet someone in the Kunsthal who is completely new and unknown to you. Someone from another generation, or with a different background or lifestyle. After an introduction you will dive into the total installation Acknowledge Rebuild. KunstKoppels is organized in cooperation with Rotterdam Heroes, a youth project of Unie Van Vrijwilligers Rotterdam (UVV). The main language during this event is Dutch.
The 'total installation' Acknowledge Rebuild – Wunderkammers of Rotterdam’s Colonial Past, features work by emerging artists. In an associative way, historical objects from various museum collections and archives in the city of Rotterdam are linked to contemporary artworks. In addition, family properties and personal stories of Rotterdam residents illustrate the legacy of the city's slavery history. This will result in a surprising perspective on the colonial past of Rotterdam, which is largely unknown, and its continued effects on our present-day lives.
