Exhibition Opening: Not My Knowledge

Come and join us on the 11th of June for the opening of the exhibition Not My Knowledge! With this exhibition we question what is perceived as valid knowledge within knowledge institutes like museums and universities. We will kick off the exhibition with a festive opening programme with talks, an ongoing workshop, drinks, and Indonesian snacks.

The evening will begin at 17.00 with a panel discussion featuring Mirjam van Linschooten and Charmaine de Heij participating artists, Stijn van Rossem Head of Knowledge & Collections at the Allard Pierson, and Harsono Sokromo curator at the National Slavery Museum.

Together, they will discuss knowledge perception, heritage institutes, and representation.

After the panel, there will be an ongoing textile workshop by Nyata Collective, one of the participating artists. During the workshop, visitors are invited to contribute to the tapestry project Archiving the Transmission of Knowledge and become part of the exhibition themselves.

There will also be Indonesian snacks by Toko Nani, as well as time to meet and talk with the artists and other attendees.
