Rondleiding en workshop: Breaking Waves
On 1 June from 14:00 to 16:00, artist Clara Jo will lead a guided tour and workshop in connection to her research on archival materials. During the workshop, Clara Jo will share the creative process of how she translated both personal and official archival materials into her film Nests of Basalt, Nests of Wood. Participants are welcome to bring an object or image from their own personal archive as a starting point to think through the feelings, sensations and memories.
In the exhibition Breaking Waves, Clara Jo researches myths and political entanglements around the distribution of disease across the Afrasian Sea (Indian Ocean), often recounted in ways that protect an imperialist narrative. Part of the exhibition is the Dutch premiere of the documentary fiction film Nests of Basalt, Nests of Wood, in which the artist combines 3D animation with filmed footage.
Clara Jo, who was the second Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed artist in residence. During her residency she produced a new film based on her research at the KITLV archives. The film will be on show at Framer Framed. The exhibition will be open between May 29 and 14 July 2024.
