Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims is Arjuna Neuman and Denise Ferreira da Silva’s first exhibition in Belgium. In 2016 they started collaborating on Elemental Cinema, a series of films that take our world’s basic elements — earth, air, water and fire — as starting points. Through these films they question the dominant, Western, perspective on knowledge of both the human and the non-human. Their ethical-esthetical viewpoint focuses on systemic structures of colonialism, capitalism and imperial injustice. The exhibition at Kunsthal Extra City brings together several of their acclaimed film works such as Serpent Rain (2016) and 4 Waters — Deep Implicancy (2018). Central is their latest and most ambitious film to date, Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims (2023).
On 27 June at 2:30 pm, CCQO and ARIA organize a talk and seminar with Neuman and Ferreira. Everyone is very welcome!
Location: Kunsthal Extra City, Provinciestraat 112, 2018 Antwerpen
Time: 2:30 pm with closing drink at 6:00 pm
