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 Films Arne Glimcher on Louise Nevelson's Experimental Late Works Jan 31, 2025 Films Acaye Kerunen on "Neena, aan uthii" Jan 28, 2025 News Announcing Our New Space in Berlin Jan 27, 2025 News Supporting Los Angeles Wildfire Relief Efforts Jan 23, 2025 Pace Live — Grada Kilomba: In Conversation with Tina Campt, May 11, 2023
