The artworks in the group exhibition bring together a sense of ‘saudade’, which can be translated as a mixture of melancholy and longing.

Get ready for a thought-provoking tour of the East District. Isabelle Britto, assistant researcher at The Black Archives and freelance researcher in the field of Black history, takes you on a tour. Britto knows Amsterdam Oost not only as a neighbourhood with a long colonial history, as visible in the street names of the Plantagebuurt and the Indische buurt, but also as a neighbourhood where new cultural voices like those of The Black Archives can be found. Starting at 14:00 at Framer Framed, the two-hour long itinerary includes guided tours at Framer Framed, P/////AKT, Tilde and The Black Archives.
This tour is created by Floor de Bruin & Julia van der Voort, 3rd-year students of the Breitner Academie. Register to join the tour here.

Framer Framed is representing special artworks by artist Stephen Tayo, whose work featured in the project A Funeral for Street Culture (2021).
