Art Project Armazoen
We are pleased to share the news that 9FILMS and the research platform Lugânzi — The Living Archive have been invited to host the Angolan Participation of the Art project Armazoen from Monique Duurvoort and Afra Jonker in Luanda.
“A black woman prepares to pay the highest price for self-determination: saying goodbye to her loved ones forever ahead of her leap to freedom through death”. The project consists of a dance film, which is screened inside a sea container. The container follows the original triangular voyage route of the slave ship Hof van Zeeland, visiting Vlissingen, Netherlands – EUROPE; Luanda, Angola – AFRICA, Willemstad, Curação – CARIBBEAN, Paramaribo, Suriname – LATIN AMERICA and New York, USA – NORTH AMERICA, before returning to the Netherlands.
An art installation and an educational program will accompany the stop over in Luanda of Armazoen art project. Exhibition 2025, dates and venues to be announced.
