Archival F(r)ictions is an exhibition in which 11 artist look at how the information on colonial maps still influence life today.
The National Archive in the Hague, which houses the collection of maps and which was also the location of the exhibition was put “under construction”: creating spaces to question and search for the often hidden stories that lie documented there.
The exhibition opened with a weekend program consisting of live performances, a shadow play, workshops and guided walks. Throughout the week the installations and documented researches were on view throughout the building.
