Here (2021) moves seamlessly between politically charged reflections and personal memories through a constellation of voices and lyrical material. In Arnhem Museum (NL) during its renovation —a place of conservation in transition— we meet a cast of young women who express themselves through music, poetry and dialogue. Together they sensitively explore themes such as hybridity, trans-nationality and diasporic sensitivities: essentially, the political instrumentalisation of identity and cultural renewal in the midst of colonial history's persistent reverberations throughout contemporary society.
