What Knots Knot Knots — Friesland
VHDG, Leeuwarden
What Knots Knot Knots explores how the colonial past of the northern Netherlands continues to shape the present.
In Leeuwarden, Cihad Caner, and Thato Toeba present new work that rubs up against the archival absences and abstractions in the maritime histories of Freisland, while Jori(k) A. Galama presents a film that was recently acquired by the Fries Museum. They explore how images, stories and histories that connect the Frisian context and its archives to wider questions of migration, language and belonging. Together, the three present a Frisian edition in which archives appear not as neutral records but as active systems that decide what is seen and what is left unsaid.
