Reclaiming History
History through the lens of today, untold stories, unheard experiences. It’s not only in our cultural living room, The Bookshop, that we create space for reflection and new narratives. On our stages too, makers present work rooted in their past, their heritage, and cultures. They bring what is self-evident to them into the spotlight, ask to be seen, and invite us to co-create stories that resonate and are passed on.
