Seeing Black: Space is the Place
On Saturday 14 November, 12:00–14:00, Seeing Black presents a special programme exploring Black Star: Rebirth Is Necessary and the way the film inspires the exhibition. The programme continues with a performance by dance crew D&D and concludes with a Dutch-language interview with Fré Calmes, artist and designer.
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and raised in Curaçao, Fré Calmes has lived and worked in Amsterdam-East since 2013. Their artistic practice is rooted in spirituality and explores the connections between ancestry, identity and visual art. Drawing on their background in Catholicism and voodoo, Fré developed their own artistic interpretation of voodoo, which they call Neo Voodooism. Through this practice, traditional voodoo rituals are translated into artistic forms, allowing spiritual guides and ancestors to communicate through visual imagery.
