Which stories have been lost throughout history, and how can we reimagine them to shape the future?
In Renarrative, six artists explore these questions. Through video, painting, and installations, they give space to underrepresented narratives inspired by personal memories, experiences, and cultural identity. The exhibition is based on Critical Fabulation, a method developed by Saidiya Hartman, a scholar in African American studies. This approach combines historical research, critical theory, and storytelling to fill in the gaps of the past. Hartman focuses on lives erased by archives and uncovers the underlying systems. Similarly, the artists bring personal and collective histories back to life. The labyrinthine design invites visitors to rediscover these stories and to view the past, present, and future through a new lens.
