Positions: Afterlives x Travis Geertruida

Positions is the ongoing program of Stroom Den Haag showcasing contemporary art practices in The Hague. With Positions: Afterlives, Stroom introduces a new series of events that focuses on the manifold ways in which colonial histories are experienced in the present. We organize special gatherings in which artists such as Sarojini Lewis, Travis Geertruida, Sabine Groenewegen and Ruben La Cruz and Karolien Helweg share their artistic positions through performances, readings, screenings, talks and food sharings. 

For the second event in our series of Positions: Afterlives we welcome The Hague based artist Travis Geertruida. Geertruida is inspired by his upbringing in Curaçao, its history and culture. For Positions: Afterlives, he developed an evening about the social and cultural dynamics of the Dutch

language, to claim ownership and conjure a sense of belonging.
