Reparative Encounters: a transcontinental network for artistic research and reparative practices
A project aiming to establish a transcontinental network for knowledge sharing between artists and cultural agents from the USVI, Ghana, Greenland and the Nordic region, instigating new North-South and South-South knowledge infrastructures
About the project
The project is a transcontinental collaboration between Denmark, the US Virgin Islands, Ghana and Greenland. Focusing on artistic and community-led practices that respond to colonial legacies, the project will organize workshops for knowledge sharing and artistic research in each location, with the goal to establish long-term artistic networks.
The project is led by Coordinator Daniela Agostinho (DK) and co-coordinators Katrine Dirckinck-Holmfeld (DK) and La Vaughn Belle (VI). Other actors engaged in the project include artists and cultural actors from Ghana, Greenland and US Virgin Islands.
