Experience the captivating finissage event of "The land of the tattooed: ungodly beasts by Kwinnie Lê" on March 8th at Hotel Maria Kapel in Hoorn. Delve into artist Kwinnie Lê's exploration of the erasure of tattoo traditions under colonial rule, with a focus on the subsequent demonization of these practices over the years. The event will feature a diverse program, including a performance by Nash Caldera, a performative dinner with Fileona Dkhar, and private tattooing rituals with guest-participants Joe Patty Sabandar, Fileona Dkhar, and Nash Caldera.
Nash Caldera, a visual and performance artist from Curaçao, weaves together photography, video, installation, sound, and performance to delve into the complexities of her identity. On the other hand, Fileona Endoxa Dkhar, a Khasi artist split between Shillong, India, and Rotterdam, explores indigenous worldviews through photography, writing, drawing, and filmmaking. Dive into a thought-provoking event that aims to shed light on cultural heritage and the impact of colonialism on traditional practices. Admission is free.
