20.03 - 06.04: 'Renarrative' - The Constant Now w. Joseph Thabang Palframan a.o. (WORM)

Unnamed 22

RENARRATIVE explo­res lost his­to­ries and reima­gi­nes them to sha­pe the futu­re. Through video, pain­ting, and instal­la­ti­ons, six artists revi­ve under­re­pre­sen­ted nar­ra­ti­ves drawn from per­so­nal memo­ries, expe­rien­ces, and cul­tu­ral iden­ti­ty. The group show, cura­ted by Magali Elali, is root­ed in Critical Fabulation, a method by scho­lar Saidiya Hartman, blen­ding his­to­ri­cal research, cri­ti­cal the­o­ry, and sto­ry­tel­ling to fill gaps in his­to­ry. Like Hartman, the­se artists reclaim era­sed per­so­nal and col­lec­ti­ve histories.

Originally pro­du­ced by Cultuurcentrum Brugge & Club Magie, the exhi­bi­ti­on was first shown at Belfort Brugge befo­re tra­vel­ling to WORM.’
