EVENTS & other PROJECTS
dedicating to cultivate a "Cultural Critical Learning Space"
Keti-Koti 2022 & Theater Belevue X LikeMinds
Despite D&I focus in the Netherlands, gaps between equality and parity persist, exemplified by Keti Koti lacking national holiday status. Theater Bellevue and Likeminds commissioned artist educator & content curator Pompadó for a Keti Koti documentary to foster awareness and advocate for true parity, moving beyond mere representation.
Keti-Koti 2024 & WoestOost bij w.c. Waterkracht
The official Keti Koti commemoration alongside performances of Woest Oost's Antraciet at Wijkcentrum Waterkracht. We celebrate the abolition of slavery with FREE HERI HERI FOR ALL, where Woest Oost and the Municipality of Zutphen invite residents to share a complimentary Heri Heri meal prepared by local students and volunteers led by chef Marvin Hendriks, also to contribute to the dialogue by anonymously submitting "Questions you dare not ask" about Keti Koti themes (history, race, customs)
Keti-Koti 2024 & Theater Oostpool
"What does Keti Koti mean to you?" This question sparked conversations between artist educator/documentary maker Pompadó Z.R. Martha and Arnhem residents, leading to a documentary exploring our shared colonial history and its present-day impact. The film screening and subsequent discussion will be moderated by Vinny Tailor, and the discussion aims to foster an open investigation into our collective knowledge and awareness of Keti Koti and the history of slavery.
Chef's choice:
a Queer dinner research
We will have a two-meal dinner and dialogue about what Queerness represents in our day-to-day society. This dinner serves as thesis research.
DOCUMENTARY
research project "Queer, Lies Matter"
Queer, Lies (,) Matter": A documentary exploring the intersection of queer artistic expression, heteronormativity, and neocolonial influence. We investigate whether art acts as true liberation or a palatable illusion, aiming to spark critical dialogue on identity, power, and colonialism within LGBTQ+ spaces through interviews and visual storytelling.
