Triennale of Beesterzwaag

Langstme

10–19 09 2021

With Heinde en ver, choreographer and artist Monique Duurvoort (1971, NL) presents a work from her ongoing research into the black and white family line from her mother’s side. With her installation she reflects on the difference in the availability of, and access to, knowledge between these different family histories. What does this unequal relationship mean for the development of your self-image? And what do you pass on (consciously/unconsciously) to the generation(s) after you as a result? Monique contributes to Langstme on the invitation of former Syb resident Petra Ponte. As friends, they have been working together for years. During Petra’s residence in Syb in 2019, Monique and she spent a few days together looking for traces of Monique’s (unknown) Frisian family history.
