This outdoor exhibition at Hoekenrodeplein presents 'Nobody Is Free, Until Everybody's Free', a powerful display of freedom fighters whose stories have often been overlooked. Running from April 30 to May 13, it uses a timeline to highlight key moments in the struggle for liberation and solidarity.
The Black Archives presents an outdoor exhibition titled 'Nobody Is Free, Until Everybody's Free' at Hoekenrodeplein, running from April 30 to May 13. Inspired by civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer's powerful assertion that freedom is indivisible, the exhibition aims to bring to light the stories of numerous freedom fighters whose contributions have historically been marginalized. The exhibition features figures such as Anton de Kom, author of 'Wij slaven van Suriname', Otto and Hermina Huiswoud who connected liberation movements across continents, Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, and soldiers from Suriname and the Caribbean who fought for freedoms they were denied at home. It also highlights the roles of African-American women in the Women's Army Corps during World War II. A chronological timeline guides visitors through significant events, including the League Against Imperialism (1927), the Year of Africa (1960), the founding of Morabeza Records, the independence of Suriname and Cape Verde (1975), and the Kick Out Zwarte Piet movement. The exhibition poses critical questions about historical narratives, asking which stories are told and which are omitted, encouraging visitors to reflect on the nature of remembrance. The exhibition was symbolically opened on May 4th, coinciding with the Anton de Kom commemoration.
Access to this outdoor exhibition at Hoekenrodeplein is free.
