Drawn from Kilomba’s acclaimed large-scale installation, O Barco | The Boat(2021), a 32-meter-long sculptural slave ship memorializing the Middle Passage,18 Verses continues using the boat as a metaphor to explore the relationship between power and historical repetition. This sculptural installation reveals the silhouette of a shipwreck, alluding to migrant routes across the Mediterranean and other global waters today, while also echoing images, gestures, and sounds that insinuate a sense of historical repetition. As the artist states, “When history is not told properly, its barbarity repeats itself.”Kilomba will be joined by black feminist theorist Tina Campt, the Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor of Humanities in the Department of Art and Archeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University. Following the discussion, we will celebrate the opening of18 Verses with a public reception from 6–8 PM. Read More Grada KilombaGrada Kilomba is a Berlin-based Portuguese artist whose works draws on memory, trauma, gender, and post- colonialism, interrogating concepts of knowledge, power, and violence. “What stories are told? How are they told? And told by whom?” are constant questions in Kilomba’s body of work. Performances, staged readings, videos, sculptural installations, and sound pieces all become conduits for the artist’s unique practice of decolonial storytelling.Learn More Journal View All Exhibitions London Gallery Weekend 2024 May 15, 2024 Museum Exhibitions Kevin Francis Gray at the Rudolph Tegners Museum and Sculpturepark May 13, 2024 Films Maysha Mohamedi and Sebastian Baden in Conversation May 09, 2024 Museum Exhibitions Tara Donovan at the Bruce Museum May 08, 2024 Events — Grada Kilomba: In Conversation with Tina Campt, May 11, 2023
