Museumnacht: Museum of Black Futures

During Amsterdam Museum Night, The Museum of Black Futures will take over the Bookshop of Internationaal Theater Amsterdam.

ITA is housed in the Schouwburg, a building that once rose from colonial wealth. The social order of that time is still palpable in the architecture. The names of colonial investors who financed the construction adorn the walls; their presence still echoes in the stones of the building.

This night, we will overturn that perspective. We centre Black Futures, break open history and search for weightlessness, for zero colonial gravity. Together we create a space in which art, live podcasts, rituals and dance send new rhythms and symbolism out into the world. Can we imagine a new state of being? One in which gathering, imagination and healing move freely?

A night in which the past is released, bodies move and imagination takes flight.
