After the successful edition with Ruben La Cruz and Karolien Helweg, we continue the series Positions: Afterlives with Sabine Groenewegen. She has been invited as a guest speaker in this special year of remembrance to reflect on the impact of the colonial past on the present. We look forward on the 16th to a diverse program featuring the audiovisual installation Removed, a screening of the film Surrounding Silences, and a conversation with writer and researcher Reggie Baay.

Sabine Groenewegen is an artist and filmmaker who uses moving images to explore and reinterpret historical narratives. In 2018, she won the Doc Alliance Award for her debut film Odyssey, which tells a complex story about nationalistic, colonial and racist structures in society. For her project Missing Scenes: on Rubber and Erasure, Groenewegen analyzes colonial propaganda films, the narratives that were constructed, and the realities that remained concealed with them. Recently, her short film Remanence premiered at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

The installation Removed will also be on view at Stroom for several weeks after this evening.
